Happy 5th Birthday to Parker

Happy Birthday Parker!!!!!!!

5 years old today! Wow, how time flies by! It seems like only a few days ago that we were hurrying to Fort Sanders Hospital on a Sunday morning (just like this year) so that we could get checked-in to await his arrival. Questions were racing through our minds: Will we be good parents? How would our world change? What would our life be like as parents? How would we respond when he cried or got sick?

And then he arrived in the mid-afternoon on Sunday, February 22, 2004 and we held him and it was, and it is, pure love (there were those early fears of being afraid of dropping him or "breaking" him or not holding him right, but I worked through those).

5 is big. 5 means starting soccer this spring. 5 means starting school this fall. 5 is big. 5 means more DEEP questions about God and Jesus. 5 means that now he really is a BIG brother. 5 is big.

Happy Birthday Parker! Mommy and Daddy love you and thank God every day for you and "your great big beautiful heart".
