Dear Finn,

Happy 3rd Birthday! I can hardly believe darlin' that another year has gone by. Mom wishes she could turn back time! What shall I write this year sweetie.... you have always been and always will be my 'heartdog' and my biggest smooch!

It's been a long year with ups and downs. But you have been there every minute of the way making sure you put a smile on my face. You went to DOCOF again this year and competed in the State Competitions. That was a lot of fun and I was very proud of you. Ah heck baby I'm always proud of you whether it's competing or just playing. We've done a lot of fun things this year, like you trying to play volley ball at the Block Party. That was great fun because the city hauled in tons of sand and filled the city streets with it! Even better yet, you got to dig all you wanted to!

Everyday that we spend together is more precious than the last. Each morning you wake me up with your nose to mine, you make me wake up laughing.And every night when you lay down on the pillow next to me and go 'ahhhh'.... I go to sleep knowing that we have had yet another wonderful day together! May you have many many more birthdays filled with health, good bones, fun and lots of smooches.

From day one, you knew you were special and so did I !

Happy Birthday from your Mom!!
