Thomas turns 3

Its hard to believe its been 3 years.  I can not even begin to imagine how different my life would be with a 3 year old boy with my two girls.  I miss him terribly, and try not to dwell much on how things could have/should have been.

His birthday was on a Sunday this year, and so we went out for dinner on Friday night instead.

Those sweet cheeks 

On Sunday, his actual birthday, we got up early and brought breakfast to the families who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House.

When we got home we made some breakfast and relaxed until it was time for church.  After church we packed up a picnic and went to the beach for the evening.

I was so touched by the notes, messages and acts of kindness that happened.  It was really hard not being able to visit his grave on his birthday and without being asked, several friends and family went out and visited and made his spot look special for his birthday.

We love Thomas, and miss him everyday.
