I thought I would write a bit about Cole.  He is now three years old . . . born 02/02/2003.  This is a picture of him at the end of last summer after he had been doing some painting out at grandma's (isn't the view amazing?).  We called him "lizard boy" for a while after that.  He loves to paint.  That is one thing I have given my kids -- the opportunity to do art. :)  Body art in this case. :)

Cole is a wonderful child.  He is very loving -- more so than I expected when I found out I was pregnant with a boy.  He never forgets to tell me that he loves me and gives lots of hugs (we call them "squeezes").  He is also FULL of energy!  He is a climber, jumper, runner . . . you name it, he does it.  He is a natural athlete with an innate love of baseball.  He also loves I-Spy books and cuddling in with Mom and Dad.  He is small enough that there is always room for him (he thinks!).

I love you, Cole!
