May 10, 2009 we celebrated your very first birthday.  We went to Podunk Maine for a day of hiking.  Ever since then you have lived true to your name, Man of the woods.

At two you were just potty trained, a big brother, and a ton of fun to be around.

Monster face!

By three you had gone to many Bible quizzes with me, always bringing a smile to every ones face.

An interview with my brand new four year old:

MOW:  Green

Me:  What's something very special to you?
MOW:  My gun that hoots balls out

Me:  What's your favorite word?
MOW:  tinkin' awesome

Me:  What do you hope for on your birthday?

His first crush Miss. "Penelope"

Me:  What's your favorite story?
MOW:  All the tories in the Bible.

Me:  Anything else you want to say?
MOW:  I love you, Momma.

Can a women forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb?  Even these may forget, but I will not forget you.

~ Isaiah 49:15
