Happy 3rd Birthday Jonah Trueman!

I can hardly believe it's been three years since jonah boy was born. He's been saying his birthday was next since January so at last, it's here! I couldn't be more proud of that little boy, he is so much more than I could have asked for in a child. He's kind and loving, he shows empathy already, he's ornery and energetic, he's curious, he's rough, loud and down right funny sometimes. Jonah is creative and thoughtful and I love him to tears!

Speaking of tears...it didn't take but a minute after i woke up for them to start this morning. It was set off by the hand made birthday sign doug must have drawn before he went to work and then the email from jonah's preschool discussing details of the coming weeks, PreschooL??? reallY?? already?? augh. And then, well, the tears just kept coming... ;-)

Any who, today is a special day and I THANK GOD for sharing one of his most precious gifts with me. Happy Birthday sweet Jonah!
