Another Candle, Another Finger... Another Year.

Dearest Logie Bear,

Every birthday that comes around seems to be a hundred times better than the last. And I can remember celebrating your first birthday like it was only yesterday. Logan, today as you turn four, mommy and daddy see a little baby that is rapidly turning into a little boy.


You are formulating your own unique personality, which is so amazing to watch. It is hard for me to believe that you are so different than your brothers, yet you come from the same two people.


God has blessed you with the kindest heart that any mommy would want for their child. You’re loving and affectionate; your kind and thoughtful. And although your volume is always stuck on high, you are still a great joy and pleasure to be around.


Your bright blond hair sets you apart from the rest of the family, but there’s no mistake that you belong to us. I can see myself in your young facial attributes, and you have definitely inherited all the noble qualities of your dad (Mom still has all of hers).


You make friends with strangers, even against mom and dad’s instructions to not talk to them. You hold a dear spot in your heart for ice cream and your two favorite blankies. Your carefree spirit and energy are inspiring to everyone around you. You really are a masterpiece of God’s creation. Mommy and Daddy never cease to feel so blessed to call you our own.


As I type, you are enjoying a healthy and nutritious breakfast at Krispy Kreme with your dad and your big brother. You made sure to bring along your favorite (new) friends to enjoy your special day with, including a dinosaur, a turtle and a frog. I’ll see you later for lunch, after you’ve been gallivanting all around the zoo and possibly the Science Center.


I have many hopes for you, on this special day in your life… I hope you never forget this day, as you get older and birthdays fly past you like airplanes in the sky.


I hope you never forget how many people around the world love and cherish you.


I hope you can appreciate all the lives you have touched with your caring nature and your friendly personality.


I hope that you have the best day a four-year-old boy could ever ask for.


Lots of love and hugs and Eskimo kisses,
Mama and Daddy
