Birthday Eve

Today is a big day around the Howard household...Birthday Eve. If you ask Bo, it's a day of reflection on the past year before you start the new one. Tanner just knows that it means the next day is a year older!

It's Hampton's Birthday Eve today, and with it brings lots of memories. We can't believe ( we mean CANNOT BELIEVE!!!) that he's been with us 3 years now. It seems like just a minute and a lifetime ago all mixed together. What we do know is he's changed our life forever in all the best ways.

Today he is a loving, rambunctious preschooler. He says the most hilarious things, and he hasn't met a stranger. Everyone who knows him loves him, because with his personality, you can't help it! He has so much energy that if we could figure out how to bottle it, we'd be rich. However, he loves playing by himself, looking at his favorite books about animals and the Bible. His three obsessions are trains, music and animals. We're not sure what type of career combines all three, but if there is something, he'd love it!

He's still getting used to being a big brother....he loves Harrison and always wants to know where he is, until Harrison comes near the trains. Then he's more "leave him" than "take him"! Hampton is so curious about everything. His favorite question is "What happened?" and he wants to be in the middle of the action. The best thing about him is how loving he is. He's not shy with "I love you" and nothing could be better than hearing that!

We are so, so lucky to have this little boy in our lives, and even though we (read: Tanner) can't stand that he's going to be the big-boy age of 3, we can't wait to see what this year has in store for him!
