Happy Birthday, Mr. Newton!

Dear Mr. Newton,
You turned 4 this past weekend!
Here was your smile when you came downstairs in the morning on your birthday.
God sure gave you a life giving smile.


You chose to celebrate your birthday with just our family and when we told you that you could pick what we did that day, you wanted to go fishing with Daddy.  So that is what we did.  The boys fished, the girls played on the playground, and everyone was happy.

We ended the day with a candle in an ice cream sundae.  And you made sure to remind us that you didn't have to help clean up dinner on your birthday! 


We love you, Mr. Newton! 
We love your smile, your laughter, and your sweet spirit.
You make us laugh with what you say and how you are figuring out the world.
You are so cute and I wish I could bottle up your smile.
You are rough and tough with your big brother and a peaceful playmate with your sister.
You say when you grow up you want to be Daddy.  Not just a daddy, but our daddy. 
You love to cuddle with Mommy and your face lights up when you "read" me a book.
You are usually content and sometimes mischievous.
You love to dance and tell jokes.
You love summer when you can run around with no shoes or shirt.
You giggle as you learn new things, like writing letters and riding your bike.  
It's the sweetest.
You are the sweetest.  
I wish I could keep you little forever. But I am excited to continue watching you grow.


I am so thankful that God gave us you!
