Michael is Three!

Saturday was Michael's birthday. He is excited to be 3 now, "just like Henry" (one of the engines from the Thomas the Train set).

As I mentioned before, we had a group party with a group of Worths that was in town a few weeks ago. The highlight of the party (other than under-the-plates, cake, and ice cream) was our "special visitor," which my mom wrote about. We were planning to have a mini-party for Michael on Saturday night, but we ended up being pretty busy with a trip to the E.R. that Chris wrote about.

Fortunately, Michael is pretty easy going (not to mention, pretty young still), so he isn't too upset about the fact that his celebration has been postponed a bit. Here are some things we love about Michael:

• He has a cute dimple under his eye
• He has a sweet soft voice (which mysteriously stays soft when he is trying to talk to us from the back of the van while we are driving on the freeway, but can get real loud during Sacrament Meeting)
• He is very fun-loving and easy going almost all the time, and when he is a bit moody it's usually short-lived and also quite cute. Just picture that cute little face, scowling through his eyebrows, muttering, "I don't like anything."
  
• He loves to pat David and kiss him on his head
• His favorite time of the day is when it's time to pick up his "brother Tommy on the bus."
• He often calls his Mommy and Daddy "Christopher and Nancy." It's too cute to correct.

Happy Birthday Michael!
