Photos by Troy

A few days ago while outside playing, Troy asked if he could take some pictures with my phone.  I, totally smitten with the idea, let him run free around the yard taking photos of whatever tickled his fancy.  Afterwards we went through them together and both of us were so proud of what he captured.  Pics are all unedited, not cropped and a small sampling of the 57? photos that he took.

Our little man turned 3 today!  Eric and I could not be any prouder of the person he is growing into.  Curious, determined, tender-hearted and kind are just a few words to describe our Bubba.

Facts about you at age 3: 

*Your new phrase is "Are you kidding me?"

*You love pancakes, cheeseburgers and orange juice

*You are the best helper in the kitchen or the garage

*Your current interests are monster trucks and soccer

*You love to sneak into our bed at night like a ninja

*You love story time at the Library and "Parachute class" at the YMCA

*You give the biggest and best hugs

*You are learning to be a compassionate and loving brother

We love you so much!

Randomness that I don't want to forget...

...a baby girl who insists on sleeping with ALL of her babies and stuffed animals,

 a proud boy who made his very own birdhouse,

 snuggles with my squeaky-bee,

 a snowman with a back story,

 a daddy daughter bond so sweet and

Bubba dreaming away while he sleeps.
