Big three
Over the weekend, Bubby had his first of several celebrations scheduled for marking his third birthday. What a remarkable year it has been, filled with fun and firsts as he moved from toddler hood to the big three.
Bubby had his first move to a new home, this one with a dedicated playroom:
Bubby, Mommy, and Daddy had their first real family vacation, to Sea World:
He colored Easter eggs for the first time:
He had his tonsils and adenoids removed:
And he got his very first big-boy bike:
Through all that, he attended his very first full school year of preschool:
Then summer arrived, and Bubby took his very first swim lessons:
But the biggest change of all for Bubby as he transitioned from age two to age three, was going from being an only child to a being a big brother. All indications are that he'll do just fine:
Happy birthday to my incredible Big B! May your third year be the best yet!

That pic of Bubby and Mac is just too darn cute for words!!! Happy Birthday to Bubby!!
Hands down winner of the highlight of my past 365 days was attending my daughter's ultrasound...and finding out I have a Grandson on the way. We've never had a boy in the family before and I was crying my eyes out.
Although I know I would also have been crying my eyes out if it was another Granddaughter to be:)
I'm so grateful to have that beautiful moment to cherish forever.
I think it's probably obvious, but the birth of Milo was the highlight of my year.
Great pictures!
Amazing how many totally cool things can happen in one year! Great photos, especially the one of Bubby and Mac. The highlight of my year was vacationing in San Diego!
Happy Birthday to Bubby. My happiest day out of the last 365? I would have to pick the birth of baby hiccup (baby grand the 6th) But I might also include the marriage of my youngest--she has been blissfully happy and it's hard not to feel happy about her happiness.
Gotta love that last picture of B and M. Too cute.
Having my sister and brother-in-law visit Colorado for the first time since their last trip 36 years ago!
Happy 3rd birthday Bubby! You have added so much joy to the world by being you!
I love all the photos of Bubby's second year, Lisa. Except for the tonsils being removed it was a very good year!
Little Mac looks so sweet lying on Bubby's chest --it will be a wonderful adventure ahead as they grow up being best of friends and brothers.
PS Of course the birth of grandson # 2 and the engagement of my daughter have been this year's highlights for me! I love happy occasions and hope more are ahead for us all! :)
Love the pics of Bubby and that is a precious picture of your grandsons!
I can't really think of anything specific but just very fortunate that everyone in my family is healthy and doing well!
That photo of the 2 boys is precious and darn cute! Spending 2 months in the winter with my daughter, her husband and my grandchildren in their home in the rain forest was a highlight!
Your little Bubby is precious. I loved the pictures. The last one of the two brothers is classic. You are blessed, Lisa.
We are still at the high school and college graduation stage, so no grandkids yet, only a grand dog.
The best part of my year so far has been traveling to Fort Collins, Colorado to see my niece in the musical Guys and Dolls.
That is a lot of firsts for Bubby. He looks like he weathered all the changes rather well. Love the photo of him and his little brother. Oh what a blessing to have two sweet little boys to cuddle. Wishing Bubby a very Happy Birthday!
The last 365 days have brought about ups and downs for me and I must say I am so thankful that I am still here to be thankful for the beauty of the earth and all its gifts to us. It could be better yet it could be much worse so i focus on the glass being half full for me. I think we don't stop often enough to think about all that we have been given and show our appreciation for those gifts. A job not lost in today's economy, a home to live in when so many have lost theirs and must live on the streets, a healthy new addition to the family; be it boy or girl, son in law, daughter in law etc. Time to enjoy the things we like like reading blogs when there are those that no longer see. Hearing the music, being thankful for all of our senses and using them to their fullest. Some of these have affected me this year and I am thankful that I can still hear enough to listen to my grandchildren tell me about their exciting day, i can still see enough at the magnification of 200% to read blogs like this that help me know that there is life out there that can be shared with someone I don't know but learn to appreciate over the course of following the blog. I realize that God didn't give me beautiful hands but he sure did give me hands to make beautiful things and I still have that going for me when most everything else i could do has been taken away. I apologize for the length but when you ask about the highlight of my life over the last year it is not so cut and dried to give a one sentence response. Thanks for allowing my 2 cents worth to be heard. Best Wishes for Bubby to have many many more blessed birthdays.
I love that last picture. Beautiful!
The highlights over the last year for me was:
1. Seeing my Dad after 5 years.
2. Seeing my sister after 5 years.
3. Reconnecting with my dear friend Mary after many many years.
4. Discovering writing again, my blog and new online friends.
5. Finally getting a job.
6. going to Grad school.
Wow, I guess I've been pretty busy.
Gosh, Bubby was busier than I was!!
I think my highlight was seeing my sister THREE times!! (as opposed to every 2-3 years!)
What wonderful memories in pictures...
