3 Years Old

I can't believe it.  How in the world has three years already gone by since I first held this precious blonde-haired baby in my arms for the first time??? 

This energetic little boy has brought so much love and joy into our lives.  He loves life to the fullest and is as affectionate and loving as he is ornery!  Not a minute goes by where he doesn't have a smile on his face!  He has truly taught us what it means to be joyful.

As Caleb grows, our prayer for him is that he will honor the meaning of his name, "faithful and bold", as a servant of Christ.  Using his enthusiasm and zeal for life, this little boy will spread the love of Jesus around the world!

The birthday boy on the morning of his birthday with a special treat...donuts!

Every kid's gotta have a birthday hat and an "It's my birthday!" sticker (leftover from my classroom).

Blowing out the candles

He was CRAZY about the ice cream (like his daddy)!  :)

And Noah was crazy about the cake!

Opening his presents

His very own Veggie Tales blanket from Bumba and Peepaw.

Kissing his Veggie Tales blanket...he really liked it!

Happy boy!

(I had to do a bit of "letting go" for his already-extremely-simple-party (since both Kevin and I had the stomach flu the day before), but he was as happy as could be with a store-bought cake, ice cream, balloons, and presents!)



Happy 3rd Birthday, Caleb!  We love you!!!
