To Johnathan on your 3rd birthday...



You're not a baby anymore, are you, buddy! You're 3 now and suddenly you're a little boy who has so many things to say and such an imagination. We love hearing what's on your mind and learning what makes you tick... You love music, and seeing you turn hockey sticks or pens or my arm into a guitar is so fun! I smile every time I hear you singing "Blessed Be the Name of the Lord," or trying to repeat a praise song you just heard. Keep praising Jesus, buddy. We also love watching you play - you love lining up your cars, putting out fires, and cooking cake for us. It's been so fun to see the wonder in your eyes when you see the cows across the street or a lizard on the front porch of your new home in Kurten. And its great that you love to read - seeing you poring over an animal book is amazing!

We also love seeing how much you love your family. Just the other day, I asked you if Naomi was your friend. You emphatically stated, "No!" but then you added, "Naomi my bes' friend". And you just light up when Daddy gets home from the office. And Mommy loves that you give such great squeezes and ning-nings before bed.

I know being 2 hasn't always been easy, son. You've had your share of days when it looked like life was pretty rough for you! But you've learned so much this year and have gone through some big changes - a new state, house, and routine. We are thankful for every day with you, whether its a rough day or a happy one, and we can't wait to see how you grow in the coming year.

Love you, Johnny!!
