Owen's 3!

Happy Birthday my miracle baby!  From conception til' now you are my miracle from God!  I will eventually have to tell the story of your conception and birth...but for now, lets reminisce on the last year.
    Big boy you turned two, but my how the year flew...GEE now you're three!!!

 1.  You became a BIG BROTHER!
 2.  Went to your first wedding (Auntie Amber's)
 3.  Experienced your first (of many I'm sure) "body buried in sand"

4.  Had your fair share of dress-up days!  5.  Helped mommy bake :)

6.  Learned to ride a two wheel bike @ 2 1/2 yrs old!!!  7.  Swam underwater while holding your breath!  And jumped off a diving board!

 8.  Moved to a new home and picked out your bedroom  9.  Enjoyed your first "trick-or-treat"
10.  Discovered several nearby parks, and how to ride your bike to them all by yourself!

11.  Made new friends...and tried to impress them!  

12.  Learned how to do "tricks" on bikes and skateboards

13.  Expanded your vocabulary by like a BAZILLION words..and questions of "Why for?"

 14.  You have melted our hearts by finally saying "I love you" in response to us telling you first...and even telling us unexpectedly.
15.  Climbed an entire indoor rock wall-all by yourself!
16.  You have memorized bible verses and bible songs!
17.  You have ridden on trains, explored the train museum, and watched your first "Thomas" show.
18. You have helped Harper learn to brush her teeth!
19.  You have slept in your bed ALL NIGHT twice! Wohoo :)  (maybe next year it will be even more!)
20.  You have been MD symptom free this year!

You have learned how to do so many new things this year, I know next year will just be competition!  You are an amazing boy, and I know you WILL do anything you want to in life.
 I am so thankful that the God of this universe, the God who created the heavens and the earth, Adam, Eve, Noah, and Abraham, created YOU...and entrusted you to ME.  I love you!  And I tucked you into bed tonight, with joyful tears in my eyes, knowing how precious every minute is and knowing you enjoy it all!

So much to do, so much to see...enjoy being 3!

Thank you friends and family for all your continued prayers!  We covet them, and rejoice in the miracles God has preformed in our lives this last year.
