Happy 3rd Birthday!


Dearest Joshua David and Grace Elizabeth~

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY TO JOSHUA!  You're such a miracle and blessing in our lives!  We love you so much little man!  Guess who was first at wishing you a happy birthday .... Grace!  She crawled into your bed this morning and hugged you.  ;-)

We had a nice breakfast together this morning.  Daddy took off from work today so we could spend the day together for Joshua's birthday!  Once everyone was done eating, we headed upstairs to get ready for the day.  You two watched a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse episode .... I think this is your new favorite show!  ;-)

Then, we headed downstairs for snack time and Uncle Brennan came over!  For your birthday little man, all five of us went back out to the State Fair for more fun!  Woo hoo! 

When we got there, we saw Cousin Stephanie and Cousin Madelynn (Charlie was back in Wilmington).  Whoa .... we walked all around!  We saw my photograph again (yippie!) and had lunch and snacks while there.  Joshua kept saying he wanted french fries, so we got a container of them and then he only ate a few.  Good thing Grace wanted some too!  ;-)

You all weren't as daring today .... so no one rode on any rides.  You two rode around in the wagon as daddy pulled you though.  We saw lots of people, animals, crafts, and the biggest pumpkin.  I think it was around 522 lbs! 

We got home by 4:30pm and my feet were tired!  Joshua, you napped once home.  Grace, you were in and out of naps.  We all relaxed and put our feet up.  Grace, you ended up wetting your pants from all the milk you drank at the Fair!  You sure soaked that diaper!  ;-)

Once Joshua woke, we cooked dinner and baked some birthday brownies that Joshua picked out at the store .... the Funfetti ones!  For dinner, we had chicken, rice, and veggies.  You two didn't eat much .... I guess you were full of Fair food.  ;-)  But, you both ate some brownie!  :-P

You all got to speak to a lot of people for Joshua's birthday.  Your Great Grandpa and Great Grandma sang to you, you facetimed with Gigi, Uncle James, and Grandpa Jim, you spoke to Mimi and Grandpa Mike, and you saw Uncle Brennan, Cousin Stephanie, and Cousin Madelynn.  Plus, I got lots of text messages from coworkers wishing you a happy birthday!  Whoa .... you are so popular little man!  ;-)

After dinner, we headed upstairs and opened gifts!  You got lots of wooden tracks for your choo choo trains from your sisters .... it was a box of 100 pieces!  And, daddy and I got you little race cars!  Both of you two played with them this evening before we got ready for bed.  :-)

What a busy and fun day!  We're so proud of you and what you've done over the past three years!  You and your sisters are true miracles and blessings .... we love you all so very much!  I can't believe you're already 3 years old! 

Happy Birthday little man!  You're growing way too fast!

Sleep tight little ones!

I love you both so very much!

~Mommy
