Michael turns 3!!!

Three years ago today Michael John Howard joined our family and has been making us smile ever since. Here are 3 things I love about Michael on his 3rd birthday:
1) His eyelashes- he will melt the heart of girls for years to come.
2) His intensity- sometimes it can be challenging, but it makes him who he is, and I think it will be a strength for him.
3) His ability to convince- he can make very persuasive arguments (without tantrums), and can lay out exactly how things should be in such a way that it makes you think he must be right if he put that much thought into it.
So here is to my long and lean, waffle eating, train loving, blankie-bear carrying, fast running, cookie making, snuggly sweet Michael! You are amazing!!!


Brand new baby Howard.
