Happy Birthday Ethan

Happy Birthday Ethan

Today our little boy turns three. He is the child that keeps us on our toes and keeps us humble as far as parenting goes! LOL! We have learned a lot through raising him and he has blessed our lives more than we can say! His smile and his eyes melt our hearts. And his sweet kisses are glimpses beyond that mischievous boy exterior.

This particular day, as I was walking past the pantry, I heard little noises coming from inside. I opened the door to find Ethan happily sitting on the floor enjoying a bag of cookies. CAUGHT!

Happy Birthday Ethan. We love you and thank our Heavenly Father for creating you, for you were fearfully and wonderfully made! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!

Sweet Poem

I've come across lots of poems like these pertaining to the child you're about to have. This one is called, Seventh, but I changed it to Eighth to fit our family. Thought it was cute and can be changed to any number.

Eighth by: Jennifer Wilson

I know I'm number eight,
but the fact you can't deny
is that God, Almighty Giver,
is the Author of my life.

My soul is no less special,
and my spirit no less great
than those that came before me--
be they one, or six, or eight!

So many eyes are blinded
by the whispers of this world--
to them, there is no miracle
in a human life unfurled.

A baby's just a plaything,
a burden, or a chore,
and we must proceed with caution
to prevent too many more!

Only a fool would trust the Lord
to give as He desires
and live a life of trust in Him...
whatever that requires.

A new car may be exciting;
a new house may be a prize,
but my new life is better
than any thing that money buys.

So all the world may roll their eyes
when eight now they see--
But I can't wait until I meet
the "fools" who welcome me.
