3 years ago our lives changed dramatically. I've always heard that a baby changes your life...it really does. Sure, we don't go to movies, and restaurants are a luxury, and we have to share our music selection, but I cannot imagine our life without Mary. Because of her, I have learned that it is most definitely the "little" things in life that can make you happy. I love listening to her sing in her crazy off key voice, making up the words if she doesn't know them and astounding me with the number of songs that she does know. She makes me laugh when she's trying to tell me something and after repeatedly asking her "what? I don't understand", I finally get it and she says, "Now that's what I'm talking about!" She melts my heart when she holds tight to one of my fingers as we're crossing the street (she has to hold a finger since she says my hands are too big). I see the caring sister in her when she gives her brother toys or comes and gets me if he's crying. And I love how she stands at the door telling her Daddy, "I love you. Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Easter! Happy Father's Day!..." each morning as he leaves for work. Yes, there are days that she drives me completely insane. I know that comes with the job, but if the first 3 years are any indication of what's to come, I say," Let's go, let's go L-E-T-S-G-O!"

Looks like Mary enjoyed her special day. What timing to get a firefighters costume after the fun she had on the fire truck in Denver. Happy Birthday Mary!
