3 years...

Ralphy is 3!

Ralphy has a fire in him that Ralph is so proud of and a sweet, loving side that I am fond of. He is smart and inquistive, always wanting to know how and why things work and happen the way they do.

And I guess I don't have to mention that he's very handsome, too...

Happy Birthday, buddy!
