Happy 8th Birthday Brendan!

Christmas 2002 (I love this picture!)

Christmas 2008

Today is my sweet boy's birthday. Time sure does fly...Brendan was born on Friday March 30th at 5:13 PM by c-section. He weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. and was 19 in long.

Today he weighs 50 lbs. (light weight!) and is 52 inches tall. He loves soccer and riding his rip stick (kind like a skate board). He is doing great in second grade and he is truly a wonderful child. He is so compassionate and caring. God has blessed Brent and I with a precious boy and Chase with a loving big brother. We love you Brendan!

Spring Break Praise

As most of you know, Brendan was supposed to have ear surgery over spring break to close a hole that he's had since July of last year. We've known about the hole for a while and the doctor has been monitoring it but said it was not an emergency to close and it has not interfered with his hearing so we elected to wait until spring break to do it. Well, we prepared Brendan as much as we could and went in for his pre-op appointment on March 5th. His surgery was scheduled for March 11th. The doctor was surprised but said that finally the ear looked to be healing on its own. Brendan said, "It's a miracle!" This was exactly what Brent and I and many others were praying for and it was a miracle! God is so good to us even though we don't deserve it. I just wanted to keep everyone up to date and share our wonderful praise.
