Happy Birthday Mark

Mark, you're three today.  You are tough and helpful.  You like to help Daddy with handy man chores.  Grocery shopping with you is fun.  You're good at bringing June toys.  You are very sad (and tantrum-prone) when you can't stay at preschool like Scott, but you LOVE when you get to go.  I'm having a blast taking you to music class where you sing so sweetly and politely.  Until recently, you sang "Jingle Bells" as the lyrics to every song, but now you have quite a repertoire.  When you sing with us in Mass, my heart glows and I think God's does, too.

Your favorite book is Richard Scarry's Best Word Book Ever.  You are soaking up the vocab!   You go bananas for airplanes, swimming pools, and attention from extended family.  You said "thank you" for your birthday presents and we say thanks that you are part of our family.
