Happy Birthday Fraser!! I can't believe my baby boy is already 4 years old! Four years ago today I was in the hospital, still in the middle of my never ending (but thankfully last) labor just waiting to meet him. Fraser, on the off chance that you actually read this many many many moons from now, I love you more than I could ever tell or even show you. You made me a mom and I will always love you for that and for all the beautiful joy you bring into our lives. You are a tiny version of Daddy in so many ways, but every day I am amazed to see you become more and more your own man. I have learned so much from you these past four years, not just about dump trucks and tractors and how rocks in the garden turn into dirt which turns into plants (and nothing I say will convince you otherwise) but about how wonderfully generous you can be, even toward your brother when he is making you crazy (you shared one of your four birthday donut holes with him this morning!) and how kind you can be to your baby sister(playing on the towel with her when she was sad), and how funny you can be (stacking all the parts of your sandwich and all your cucumbers up to make a tower for your cucumber spaceship to land on!) and how perfectly loving you are to all of us. Happy Birthday Honey Pot. I will love you more every single day, from now until the end of forever.

I know this is Fraser's Birthday, but I to include this video of eleanor, which is just adorable. In the interest of full disclosure I will say that Mr. Darcy did finally turn around and bite her shortly after this video ended, but the tail chewing and snuggling went on for a good 10 minutes before I even went to get the camera.

And of course here are my guys who are supposed to be having quiet time, but were instead leaping around on the couch like monkeys. Ever the best of friends and the worst of enemies, like all true brothers!
