Happy Birthday Titus!

Titus, endearingly called by all 6 of us as "Big Son," is 4 today.

Titus I love that you ask to play Tao Cruz's "Dynomite" every time we get in the car.

I love that you still call a shovel, a "shubble."

I love that you think I'm silly.

I love your big brown eyes and how sweet they are when with a smile or filled with tears.

I love that you help me with animals and pets and things-you are often my hero during that day, when I have a dog or a cat in my lap that I can't get off.

I love it when you shoot Nerf gun bullets at my backside when I am doing the dishes or any other time when I am least expecting it!

I love that you like to pick out your own clothes and that you will wear a bow tie for me on Sunday's.

I love how sweet you are and kind, thoughtful and always willing to be flexible.

I how you sit on the floor and read, whether it is in the middle of the aisle at Target, in the kitchen or on your bedroom floor.

I love how you save up your allowance every month to buy a Chai tea on the last Sunday of the month at church.

I love how you ask me to sing to you every night & you always know just what song you want to hear. I also love that you think I sing "so beautifully." I hope your 4 year old ears think the same thing :)

I love how you tackle when we play football, and how you will protect the ball at any cost. I love that I can still hold you and that your not too heavy to pick up. The day I can't lift you into my lap when you are hurt will be sad for me.

You are one tough son, and I am so thankful that I get to celebrate having you in my life for 4 years.

You are so, so dear to me and I will always love to pieces.

Here are a few photos from the birthday party this past weekend!
