Happy 3rd Birthday Big Boy!

The morning of Garen's birthday he was not to happy about turning 3, but he slowly warmed up to the idea. (I have a great video of him refusing to be 3, I'll post it later).

Garen's birthday was just another reminder of how quickly time goes by and that our kids don't stay little for long.

The first year with Garen was rough and at the time the crying seemed never ending. But now I wonder, where did my baby go!? I wouldn't change one minute of the sleepless nights and the screaming echoing in my head even when I wasn't around Garen. He made me stronger as a mother and I believe prepared me for things to come in the future.

But this little boy sure made up for things later on. What a funny, sweet boy he is. He makes me laugh daily and 95% of the time he is such a good, mellow, fun little boy! He gives me about 50 hugs and kisses a day and is always telling me he loves me.

Thank you Garen for making my life even more meaningful and overflowing with joy!
