My Buddy turned 4!

Here Chase is this morning in the fireman costume from Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Jim-and this is the beastly firetruck I got off of ebay. Things sure are smaller on that tiny picture on the screen. Yowza! He LOVES it and so I'm willing to live with it!And here is my baby Chasey at just a few months old. His fat cheeks were to die for! Chase has challenged us as parents in so many ways, but he also makes me laugh uncontrollably and I couldn't imagine life without him! He loves his brother and sister so much and protects them already. He's so proud to be 4 (or 18 depending on the time of day you ask). Tonight putting him to bed Phil mentioned that he'd never be 3 again and he as quite put out about it. He said, "not even when I'm a dad?" These comments get me through the day. Seriously. I love you big guy! never stop snuggling me and telling me how much you love me!
