Happy Fourth Birthday Parker!

Four years ago today, I was induced and 21 hours later we welcomed Parker D Leeuw into this world. He was 8lb 6oz and has been growing strong ever since. I can not believe that we have been blessed with him in our lives for that long. So, I thought we could take a little trip down memory lane....

Here he is digging into his cake on his 2nd Birthday!

Getting ready to dig into his cake on his 3rd Birthday!

And... Opening one of his presents at a party we had for him last weekend!

Dear Parker,

Four years has come and gone so quickly. It has been amazing to see how much you have grown from our first baby, to a toddler and now our big boy! You are so much fun and make us laugh everyday. You have facial expressions that can raise a couple eyebrows, and we love so much. One of my favorite things is when you sneak out of your bed in the morning and crawl in with me. You snuggle up nice and close and whisper "I Love You Mommy"! Could there be anything better. The questions you ask and how you take in every detail is just beyond me. You have a memory that can put anyone to shame! You have taken on the roll of a big brother whithout hesitation and you are amazing at it. You are the biggest helper and the best teacher. Thank you for who you are and what you have brought to our family. We pray for you everday and who you will become! Make The Lord as proud of you as we are!

Love, Mom and Dad
