HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, TOBY!

Today marks THREE YEARS (!!!) since Toby came to live with us. THREE! That tiny, frail and scared little three year old is now a rambunctious, overly energetic six year old. It's almost hard to believe! Just like in past years, we wanted to celebrate this day. We had cake and a few small gifts for Toby to enjoy on Sunday. Isn't that cake incredible?! He's been chowing down on it ever since haha! 

Toby has taught me so much in these past three years. How to be more patient, how to love unconditionally, and how to be a mom. He made us a family, and that alone is reason enough to celebrate.

Just as I had predicted last year, he's an amazing big brother. Linden is so incredibly lucky to have this kid to look up to. I can't wait to come back next year and celebrate four years! I'm hoping this year brings some big and exciting things to our family, so fingers crossed! xo

  2. He's such a doll. And man, is it fun to watch him do what Mike does, up to and including bow ties and babywearin'. He's a love. I'm so glad you were able to bring him home!

  5. Toby is the cutest little boy! Look at him with his ice cream. You must be so happy for being able to bring him back and give him a sense of home and family. You're an awesome mama!
