Happy Birthday, Cole!

Seven years ago today, at 9:23pm (he was born 9/23 @ 9:23!) I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy. We named him Cole Everett and he has been the twinkle in our eyes ever since! Cole brings us such joy everyday and is such a delightful young man. Must be getting that from his daddy because from what I have heard all my life, I was definitely NOT like my child! lol Happy 7th Birthday, buddy! Now, lets go eat some donuts! ;-)

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."
