[color:Blue>Jo'el is now playing on his first team ever! He loves playing soccer and had his first game Saturday 6.23.2007. He is still very much into Thomas the Train.
Our son was born on Saturday March 27, 2004 at 9:32a.m. weighing in at 8lbs14oz and 20 1/2 inches long. He has a head full of brown curl hair and his daddy's button nose. My husband Brian was by my side through this wonderful experience.
He loves to play with cars, trucks, trains, planes and helicopters. He likes bubbles and coloring with chalk in front of the house. He is a big book reader, he wants us to read to him all the time. But most of all he loves to dance.
[color:Blue>The Joy of Raising a Baby
We’re glad you joined our family, Yet some things make us wonder; How can a little package like you Have a voice that’s loud as thunder?
You are so small and oh so cute, But you are never very shy, For whenever you want something, You just open your mouth and cry.
First you moved on hands and knees, Then you were up on your feet. We’re chasing you all around the house; We’re tired; we need a retreat!
Some food is on the table; Some food is on the floor; Seems the only place food didn’t go, Is in the baby we adore.
Diapers here and diapers there, Stinky... smelly... Whew! Diapers would have done us in, If we didn’t love you as we do.
We’re glad you joined our family, You’re a unique and wonderful treasure. So, despite the work of raising you, Being your parents is a total pleasure!
Having a sleep over with my cousins
Me & Uncle Bubba
