Zach is TWO!

Happy Birthday, our little wild man!

We love you more than you know and praise the LORD you are our son. You bring so much joy and laughter to our lives. We can't wait to tell you one day all about your little sister Reese and how you have helped us through these past few months.


This song touches my heart and soul. I imagine Reese feeling this way and saying, "Mom and Dad, you wouldn't cry if you could see everything I see in Heaven."

We know you are celebrating with us in Heaven today, Reese.


I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion.

Exodus 33:19

    Happy, happy, happy Birthday to YOU!!!! What a tremendous and fun age! I think 2 and 3 are my favorite, all of them !!! May the Lord give joys, memories, treasures, giggles, hugs, kisses and maybe some presents to you today!!!

    Tell your mommy, I am praying for her and give her a squeezer hug (as our little Joel use to say) around her neck!!!

    Happy Birthday to Zach! What a fun age...
    Today would have been Samuel's second birthday. It is nice to see Zach at the same age - I can see what Samuel would be up to about now.
    Take care :)
