Another Celebration!

On this day, four years ago, at 10:09 in the morning, we welcomed another gift from God to our family. He weighed 7 lbs 7 oz, was 20 inches long, and had a bit of dark hair on his beautiful little head. We named him Cruz Robert and have enjoyed him tremendously ever since! Cruz was a very easy delivery! After only 3 pushes and only 6 hours of really hard labor, he joined this world, happy and healthy!

Our first family photo!

Cruz, you have grown into a wonderful little boy. You were blessed with wit, humor, and are the king of the robot dance! We love watching you turn into such a great little man and couldn't be more proud of you as we are today. We love that you have your mommy's spunk and your daddy's love for pretzels and chocolate! Mommy and Daddy love you with every ounce of their being and we hope that you have one of the best birthdays ever! We love you, Cruzer!

Happy 4th Birthday, buddy!!

Love,

Mommy, Daddy, Cole, and Linds ;-)

Heart Poem

It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels, to go live on earth, and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave, I like it here, and I will miss you". He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed on this idea. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work". But the little angel is still a little scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says "When you are born, your mommy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart". "Enjoy your time with your family, play and laugh everyday." "And when its time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves."
