May 2nd

Carson had a fun third birthday today.

We hung out at the Springs Preserve per his request. We ate at the cafe, saw some animals, and saw Carson's favorite thing, the "bubbling brook". He loves to watch water rush down a hill over there.

He even had his magnifying glass with him today, so he could get an extra special view of things.

A marvelous day so far! And it's not over yet.

Soon, Daddy will be home and we will be having more cake.

Birthday boy and Baba.

We've been together three years, but we've known each other our whole lives. :)

Little man, as you turn three, let us make sure you know

Just how proud we are of you.

You are smart and distinguished.

You know artists and composers better than we do.

You are strong minded and kind.

Not to mention handsome.

You are the most brilliant son

We could have imagined.

And the fun is just beginning.

We can only imagine how many successes of yours we will be celebrating

In the years to come.

You have gone from a little stinky fish

To a brilliant, handsome boy with a bright future ahead.

And now that we are done with the terrible 2's

I am going to pour myself a big glass of wine.

Cheers!
