I am so glad that you are my little turtle bunny boy. You were the easiest and sweetest angel baby. Your birth was so easy and gentle. And now you are such a smart, talkative and funny three year old. You amaze everyone with your ability to communicate and the cute things you say. We are really amazed that you have memorized and recited whole books. You love to follow Joshua around and play with his toys. You can be very sweet and cuddly, but you also have a bit of a temper. You are trying really hard to use your words instead of getting angry and you are getting better at it. You are very much a mama's boy. You love to be wherever your mama is. You also adore your Deedle and you are sad when he is gone. You love to help water the garden (and eat the fresh produce), you love to help cook, you love to read books and play games. You enjoy camping, hiking, the backyard, the beach and running. You love to play with your best friend Carter and also the other Mansius boys. My hope for you is that you will use your many talents to do good and make others happy. May you continue to be strong, healthy and happy!
Love,
Me! (Your mama)

This first picture is the only one we have. Brent accidentally deleted our camera pictures, so he meticulously and painstakingly extracted these pictures from the video camera. And-yeh, the date is wrong. It was the 21st...summer solstice.
