3 years old

Well, I am a little late on writing this birthday update...but better late then never!!

We continue to be so thankful for you, Richard Tobias.  Daddy and I were getting ready to talk about having a fourth child, but we never got to that conversation because God decided that our family needed you.  I am so grateful in God's wisdom that He knew our family would be so blessed by your addition.

You are so very extroverted....which is sometimes hard for this introverted momma.  I often ask daddy, "How does an introverted momma raise an introverted son?"  And his response is, "Well, you are gonna find out!!"

You love so passionately.  It isn't good enough to just sit beside someone on the couch.  You have to be right on top of them...touching them...loving them.  Just about everyday that daddy goes to work you need to give him "the biggest hug ever" before he walks out the door...it doesn't matter if he just gave you a hug or not.

You are such a helper.  Whenever there is a time to help, you want to be right there helping.  Even if there isn't a way to help, you will ask and ask until we find something for you to do. 

You love ROCKS!  Every time we go somewhere, you look for a rock...to hold as a prized possession.  I have grown to love you carefully choose just the right rock to hold on to for the day.  And at the end of the day, it goes into your special rock bucket by the front door. 

We are enjoying watching God fine tune who He wants you to be.  You have so much to offer the world, and we pray that you use all your gifts to further His kingdom!  We love you more than words can say, but remember He loves you even more!

Here are a few pictures from our photo shoot:




 

And here are a few silly faces...just a bit of his personality shining through!
