Ode to Todd...!

Today is Todd's Birthday and I thought I'd do a little "recap" of some of the highlight pictures and things I love about him. Now...I realize there are hundreds more...after all, I am my mothers daughter! :) I love that Todd is always looking for an opportunity to be Jason Bourne. Someway, somehow, Jason is inside of him just searching for the right moment to come out!!
I loved watching Todd hold Emma in the first few moments and days of her life. For someone who is as big and clumsy and loud as he is, he was perfectly quiet and in awe of this little life that he held in his arms!
I love that Todd will wear pink if I ask him to! He isn't afraid of what other people think and I happen to think he looks pretty hot in this picture!
I love that Todd is such a good big brother. He loves to be with his family and he loves the interaction with them.

I love that Todd knows how to have a good time. He has such a good personality and sense of humor that others are naturally drawn to him.
I love the x-box...when it's packed up and in the shed. But I do love to watch him play when he plays with his friends. He can get pretty competitive!
I love that Todd can be the life of the party. He isn't afraid to be himself and have a good time doing so!
I love how Todd plays with Emma. He is truly wrapped around this girls finger and has been since day 1. I love how he talks to her and how they seem to have a language all of their own!
I love the little ailments that Todd seems to have at times...from choking on steak to hives and colds...this guy knows how to milk a sickness or ailment for everything it's worth!


Mostly, I just love him. I love his smile, his touch, his voice, his laugh, his eyes, his dreams, his fears, his hopes...the list could go on. So, Todd Michael...Happy 26th Birthday, thanks for letting me share the last year with you! Here's to another great year...!!!
