Today is Mark's 3rd birthday! I sure can't imagine life without his beautiful smile and sparkling brown, mischievous eyes. Mark is all boy and I love to see him play with his little equipment and pretend that he is farming. He is energy plus and seems to enjoy each moment to the fullest. It's hard not to smile and be happy when he is around, because how can you be sad when he exuberates such joy for life.
It is fun to watch his little mind work and to listen to him talk. He doesn't miss anything that is going on around him. Surrounded by three sisters he definitely knows that he is the boy. The other day when I was getting him a drink and poured it into a pink cup, he informed me that he wanted a boy cup. The pink one was for girls!
He was so looking forward to his birthday. He watched his two older sisters celebrate their birthdays this year and kept asking when it would be his turn. Kristen promised that his time would come. When Steve & I and his other grandparents arrived for the big event, he met us with a huge smile and ran circles around the room as he tried to contain his excitement. After we all enjoyed a meal together, the much anticipated cake was brought out to him. There was no doubt that the cake met all his expectations.
I love that we get to share these happy times together with our grandchildren.

I was behind Mark when the cake was brought out so the video doesn't show his face very well, but you can still see that he was pretty happy.
I love that we get to share these happy times together with our grandchildren.
