October 25th, 2000 10:53 a.m.Happy 10th Birthday
We have loved you from the moment we knew you were coming into our lives. And upon your arrival, you instantly and continually bless our lives each hour of every day. You hardly cried, loved snuggling with us and gave our whole family incredible joy.
Nana had waited a long time for a grandbaby and you learned her name quickly! She has always had a special place in your heart. You still will do anything to make your Nana happy. Your smile is all she ever needs.
Your AJ couldn't get enough time with you. She moved clear across the country to be with you and help raise you into a fine young boy.
Always, in any given situation you are full of smiles because you love to make those around you happy.
You have a love of running just like your Nik. I'm sure there will be many photos of the 3 of us together crossing LOTS of finish lines together.
You love food and LOTS of it.
You celebrated your first birthday in Alaska surrounded by so many people who love you.
And no matter what the situation, you find light of it.
You aren't afraid to explore....even to the bottom of a pumpkin.
You love your brother Timothy so much and look up to him like no other. You are kindred spirits and so much alike.
Silly.
Joyful.
And never afraid to beat to your own drum.
A lounge lizard expert!
And never camera shy.
You are our JOY!
And as you grow into a young man, we want you to know that we look forward to sharing each and every day with you
We will guide you in your decisions, love you for who you are and continue to enjoy watching who you become. We love watching you draw, sing, act and be a kind human being. You are such a wonderful young boy and we feel so privileged to be your parents. Mommy loves going on runs with you and daddy loves the humor and art that you both share.Happy Birthday, Big Boy!
