Happy Birthday

One year ago today we welcomed a little bundle of testosterone into our predominantly estrogen filled home. Our first son and fourth child, Craig, has turned out to be ALL boy and yet such a joy!

Through the hitting, hair-pulling, growling, and drooling, he's the first one to go running to see his big sisters when the get home from school.

He perches on his biggest sister's hip like a pro and wrestles with Jessie until we say, "No!"

He's played with lots of pink but that doesn't make us think that he's NOT all BOY.

A major league pitcher he'll be, this we know, because of his increasing desire to throw. Balls, food, toys...there's no discrimination to his ever growing imagination.

He's had many bumps, as you can see from his head. But that just makes him tougher, just like his Dad.

The doctor may say that he is too small,

but that doesn't keep him from climbing to feel so tall!

He's made mom vaccum the floor over and over

because of his love to dig and discover. (In the plants.)

So little bundle of blue,

please know that our hearts LOVE You!

Happy first birthday, Craig.
