he turned 4!

one month ago our little Abe turned 4. We call him our dreamer. He lives in his own little world 90% of the time.....just like his daddy. my biggest frustration on a day to day basis is getting him into the car and buckled. he is on his own time frame and stops to see every little bug or stick on the way from the front door to the car. it makes my blood boil! when i am not actually trying to get somewhere but just on a walk or watching them play, its my favorite thing about him. his imagination is priceless and beautiful!
of course, for his 4th birthday, we had a superhero birthday party! all his little friends dressed up as superheros and we fought waterballoon monsters and ate batman cake.
he makes us laugh, he makes maggie laugh and he definitely makes frankie laugh. life would be alot more dull without him. i cant wait to see what he grows up to be! he is such a gentle boy (although he did kick some little kid at the pool yesterday for not letting him play with a toy...hadnt seen that before!)  but all in all, he is a kind soul and he looks like a rockstar no matter what he is wearing! he's just got that look. love him!

my favorite picture of the day! he was so proud he caught the ball during the ball toss!!!
