Three is a magic number

This year, three is a magic number for us.  This week, three is M's number and in honor of the big three I wanted to walk through some of our 3s this year.

- We have three children - our 3rd was born this year
- I am one of three children
- I am 33
- B just lost his 3rd tooth
- M is turning three on Sunday
- I am currently mid-way through my roughly 3rd roughly 3 month maternity leave
- M rides a tricycle gleefully (although she experiments with bicycles too)
- This is our 3rd home as a married couple
- M and E have 3 Godparents each
- B just finished his 3rd year at St. Elijah's MDO
- B starts kindergarten in less than 3 weeks
- M starts Ms. Milena's class in 3 weeks
- E wears 3 month sized clothes
- Our house number has a 3 in it
- Our home phone number does too. (Brent's cell number does also).
- The temperature has been three digits for way too many days - today was 113
- I have been to Europe 3 times
- E sleeps 3 hour stretches (sometimes)
- M is 3 feet tall (maybe more by now, but roughly so)

- M weighs (roughly) 38lbs

- Our home contains three (functioning) cell phones
- M and E are nearly 3 years apart in age (B & M are almost precisely 2.5 yrs apart)

Some of these may be a stretch and you could probably do this with a lot of numbers, but just now three is a big number for us and for our lovely, little lady.  Let the birthday fun begin!
