Judas Maccabeus--4 years old!

Happy fourth birthday Jude!!!  I wrote this in your prayer journal tonight, but I thought I would share it here too!  (P.S.  photos of the visit from Sarai and Minette and my adjustment back to work post to come...someday...maybe!)

Today is your fourth birthday Jude!  I can't believe how fast time goes by- and that you have a little brother and sister now.  I also can't believe that it is snowing outside!  School was cancelled today and daddy stayed home too, so we had a great day at home.  We started with a birthday donut with a candle and opened presents (helicopter lego, swim gear, and a robot t-shirt outfit).  Then you played legos with daddy for the first time (you both loved it!).  Lunch was mac and cheese and hot dogs followed by robot cake.  In the afternoon you watched Cars 2 and then took a bath to try out your new goggles.  

Jude, I want you to know how much your dad and I love you.  You have brought us so much joy over the past four years.  You are always saying hilarious things and we talk to each other about what we hear you say a lot!  You are so fun to listen to.  It is amazing to see your personality and see the wheels turning in your head.  You learn so much every day!  Right now my favorite thing you do is tell me how much you love me and thank me for doing things for you.  You will look at me at supper and say so sincerely, "Thank you for making this food mom.  I love you mom!  I love everything you do!" 
You also love to sit on my lap and cuddle.  Dad and I pray for you each night.  We pray that you stay happy and healthy and for wisdom (and patience) as we raise you!  We also pray for the person you are growing up to be and that you will learn to love God.

You are a terrific four year old boy, Judas Maccabeus, and I can't wait to see what this year and all the years after that bring for you.

Love,  Mommy
