I can't wait to see you in a few more hours...it has been a long week without you here! Another birthday...another year of learning what marriage looks like...(wonder if we will ever arrive and can stop learning...probably not!!!)...Wanted to do something extra special for you this year...because you deserve it!...and these are the reasons why...

You teach me what love looks like daily

you have a joy for the Lord like I've never known

You love our kids so well

You encourage others all the time

you are an amazing poppy

you are an amazing son

your are an awesome uncle

you work so very hard

you love to play too!

you are my best friend

you are a man of honor

you are man of intergity

...and you are a man who is loved!!!

Happy birthday baby...I love you so much!!!~Beth

Happy birthday Michael!

This has been an amazing year...you've been a dad for an entire year now...I remember watching you as a little boy/young man...and I knew then what a great husband and father you'd be! You've proven me right about the husband thing! I see the way Beks looks at you and I know you love her well...

Now, Charli Grace is here and oh my word the daddy you've  become...I know you love her fiercely...you will protect her with your very life...you will teach her about Jesus...and I've seen you eat a few words...(like we all do when we become parents)...but I've also watched you work very hard to earn the love of another little lady...

Miss Rory came to you hurt, scared and needing some healthy loving...she was so afraid of you at first...and the pain I saw in your eyes hurt my heart...but I've watched you work slow and steady...with consistency you won the heart over of another little lady...she adores you as much as Charli does and you have proven me right once again...you are an amazing dad! I happen to think you had a pretty awesome example to follow!

I also want to say an extra thanks for  being there for me this week...for the hard work...but even the small things like pulling the hose to the garden so I wouldn't have to!

I hope you day is blessed full of giggles and laughs with your ladies! I love you more than you will ever know!
