Ok, I kinda hate to admit this, but my parents were right. They said time flies after you have kids and they weren’t kidding. These past three years have flown by!

In case you’re wondering what I’m babbling about this time, I am blogging for a special occasion. Our little Cate is turning three.
Three years ago we welcomed our (not so) little firstborn. She came running into this world and hasn’t stopped since. Over the past three years, we have seen Cate transition from a chubby baby into our little Skinny Minnie. She has been the light of our lives.

Now, don’t get me wrong, this gal has an ornery streak. She can certainly push our buttons and she is terribly independent. She’s a gal who knows what she wants and will tell you just what she thinks! Not such charming traits as a toddler, but I’m sure they will serve her well when she’s an adult.

We love you, Cate! We love the way you literally run everywhere, your demanding of hugs and kisses at bedtime, your eternal help in the kitchen, the sweetness you’ve shown your new sister, the way you rub Daddy’s face to see if he’s shaved and your non-stop dancing and twirling around the house.

I hate the ticking clock, because it’s moving too fast. You’ll be starting college, getting married and having your own babies before we know it. The years will fly, but I can’t wait to see the girl and woman you become. I know you’ll be an amazing person because you already are! Happy Birthday!

that's so sweet, Leslie. They are the light of our lives aren't they! How does it go so fast and so slow all at the same time?
ditto ginny! That was so terribly sweet Leslie! I almost had a tear in my eye! Happy 3rd little sweet cute Cate!
That gave me a serious tug at my heart. I love that we've watched each others' children grow; they're all so crazy and so incredible. -Camille
Happy Birthday Cate-inator. It is so sad how fast it goes.
