At 3:49pm on December 2nd, 2004, what were you doing? I was giving birth to my firstborn after 19 hours of labor including 3 1/2 hours of pushing. Was he worth it? Every minute. He is such a creative burst of God's love and genius, I can't imagine making him up myself. He teaches me so much and brings incredible amazement and laughter into my life.
Here are some things recently heard at our house:
Here are some things recently heard at our house:
"Mommy is going to burn something for dinner tonight."
"Planet is like Knitting. See: Plan-NIT and NIT-ing."
"Cua-ta-doh" (C's attempt to say the word for 4 in Spanish (cuatro) and roll his R's--he doesn't say his R's anyway!)
"The plants' situation is that they are growing." (after my explanation of the word "situation" to him)
"When you get bigger, your penis will get bigger, too." ("you" is how he refers to himself)
"The end of your tummy is hurting, right there." (pointing to his abdomen when he had an upset stomach)
Happy Birthday to my little boy. Your life, your thoughts, your words are a wonder to me.

Happy Birthday, Callan!
It seems like just yesterday we were helping to think about what your name would be and hearing about how your mom's water broke in the library. You were destined to be a wordsmith!
Love, Auntie Jan & Uncle Teeter-totter
oh, Happy Birthday, dear C~ He is such a delightful and bright little man. Miss you all~
Happy Birthday sweet C!!! What a treat to be around to first couple of months!
Hey -- I have a friend who is interviewing for residency in Richmond. Do you have space on your couch for him Dec 9th? He doesn't think he'll be around for long... just needs a couch to crash on.
Love you lady.

Wow, Callan is such a BOY now -- not a baby or even a toddler! He looks so big! I hope you all had a happy time celebrating his birthday.
Truly a very wise three year old. We miss you all!
