Meggie turns 3!!!!

Today is Meggie's 3rd birthday!! I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Last night when I went to bed, I was remembering when I went into labor with her...sometimes is feels longer than 3 years and sometimes less. I just love this little girl with all my heart:) Megan, you are such an incredible joy and blessing to your daddy and I. You have such a beautiful, caring, loving heart. We can never get enough hugs and kisses from you! It's so amazing watching you grow and develop your little personality. May you always know how deeply loved you are by so many people and most of all by God. Happy Birthday sweetheart!!!!Today, my mom and dad came over and brought us Tim Horton's...Megan loves donuts!! They gave her Dora gardening gloves and shovel and she already used them and helped me pull some weeds today! And they also gave her a new cabbage patch doll and she carries her around everywhere!! She's one happy girl:)Meggie had a little birthday party last Friday with all her little boy friends! That's right, Megs and Gabby were the only girls. We all went for a nice walk on the greenway and then went back to the park and played and everyone brought a picnic lunch. One of the moms brought party hats and noise makers and yummy cupcakes! We had lots of fun:)Jeff drew a really cool card and left it on Megs placemat this morning. She just loved it!! She is always talking about a moose-a-man (we have NO idea what this is or where she got it from). So Jeff drew his version of this. I think he is a great artist...On the weekend, Jeff and his dad finished off the pea gravel area in the backyard for the kids toys. I think it turned out really well. And today when I mowed the grass, it was nice to not have to mow around the playground.Here's Meggie helping daddy pound in the rebar!!
Megan has had soccer again this week and yesterday her and Cohen were kind of not into it and they would lie down on the field and just hang out. It was actually really cute, because they would copy each other!The bigs kids...and the little kids!!!Gabby is really into feeding other people these days. She especially likes to feed us her cheerios. Here she is feeding cherrios to Megs as a bedtime snack!My mom just emailed me this picture of Gabs and I at Eric and Traci's wedding. I think it's so cute and our dresses match!!Oh, and as of this last week...Megan does not have soothers anymore!!! I was actually dreading this and thought it would be awful. So, for the last week or so I've been telling Megs that 3 year olds don't need soothers anymore (she only has them at bedtime). I cut the tips off again and she was not happy about that and said she wanted me to fix them!! I told her I couldn't:( She took a little bit longer to fall asleep that night, but she has done really well. The night I cut the tips off, I told her she was a big now and didn't need them, she said to me "I'm not a big girl, I am little...look at my toes they are still little!!". So funny! She hardly naps anymore, but has been sleeping close to 12 hours at night and I'm happy with that!

Jeff and the girls are going to come watch my soccer game tonight and I'm looking forward to that! Bye for now...
