SETH TURNED 4!!! Yeppers, my sweet, not-so-baby-anymore, baby turned 4 on Thanksgiving this year!! I seriously cannot believe it. I know we all say this, but it really does just feel like yesterday that we loaded up in the car, headed to Community Hospital, and had Seth Jameson Mariano at 8:36am via C-section. It was so surreal. And now so is having a 4 year old. I just love the little boy he is becoming! He has such a sweet sensitive heart, loves to be a helper, has "almost" perfect manners, & is so incredibly smart! He has the most contagious smile and laugh and rarely exhibits a bad mood (thank the Lord). Most exciting though is that he is really starting to process all of the things he is learning about Jesus. I know it's hard to tell what information is simply regurgitated at this age, but there have been several times that his little heart has just been broken because Jesus died on the cross for our sins. What an amazing feeling it is to see the work of Christ on your child's heart :) We continue to pray that he will fully understand and trust the sacrifice of Jesus.
Anyway.....of course his birthday didn't go by without several parties!! He is pretty lucky to have a holiday birthday because the parties never end!! Two weekends before Thanksgiving, we visited my dad & stepmom and had a small party there. The weekend before Thanksgiving we had a party with Micah's parents, family, & friends. Finally, we had a birthday party on Thanksgiving with my mom, stepdad, & mom's family. Seth loved every minute of it!! Here are some pics of my BIG BOY!!!
