Four Years Old

Landry Tigh...

four years ago we were waiting...

oh so patiently for you to arrive.

And now...

a quick blink of an eye later 

you are four years old!

This past year has been filled with firsts...

First season of t-ball.

First year at preschool.

First movie at the movie theater.

First plane ride.

You have grown and changed more this year than any other year.

You used to be our shy, quiet, calm little man.

Now.

Well...now you are loud, silly, and just a little crazy! :)

You love being outside...

in the water...

in the mud...

and picking up worms.

You love to dance...

 and haven't found an accessory or costume you can say no to.

You certainly keep us on our toes 

with your constant questioning of how the world around you works...and why.

You share a love for arguing...just like your Auntie KK.

Most importantly...

you have brought so much love and joy to our lives 

that I have no idea what our life was like before you made us a family of three.

There have definitely been days when we weren't sure if you would make it to 4...but we are sure that stubborn side of you will turn out to be a quality that takes you far in life. :) 

There is so much more I would like to say...

but I don't quite know where to begin...

and this has already taken me three days to write...

with lots of tears in between. 

So, I will end it with our annual picture of you and your "lion bear."

And just to prove how crazy he has gotten...

Can't see the crazy yet? What about now? All him...our crazy little man!

Handsome...we don't ever want you to forget how much we love you and how proud we are to be your mommy and daddy!
