Phinny turns 4!



Sweet Phinean Jude, today you turn 4.


I know it's cliche to say, but I really can't believe how fast time has gone.  You used to be so tiny...



And now you're huge!...


No, you don't normally dress like that.  It was mismatch day at school.  But if you were to pick out your own clothes, you'd probably look something like this on a daily basis.  Luckily your fashionably sensible mother picks out your outfits.


You are our passionate little firecracker.  When I was pregnant with you, the Lord kept telling me that you will be a mighty warrior for God's army.  This definitely describes your personality!  When your mind is set on something, it simply HAS to be that way, which is quite challenging for your parents at times.  But we adore that strong will of yours, because it is exactly how God made you!  You are perfectly and wonderfully made.


You are silly as can be...



Sometimes a bit moody...



And pure joy in our lives...



You're so handsome I can hardly stand it.

Your laugh could disarm even the hardest criminals.

You are a professional snuggler.

You tell me you love me a million times a day.

You love to give kisses and hugs, but on your own terms.

You try to "out-love" me and be "the winner of loving".

You love to color, and are left-handed.

You LOVE to play your Leapster.

Your imagination is as big as the sky.


Phinny, you are pure joy to us.  You have blessed our lives in immeasurable ways, and we are so honored to celebrate YOU today.


HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY PHINEAN JUDE!
