Champ Andrew is 3!!

With every child we think "what would life be like without them!!" And we've said that countless times since Champ was born. He is the funniest and happiest of all 4 kids. At the slightest hint of being in trouble he starts running with his arms open for a hug, wanting to reconcile as soon as possible. He is so great at puzzles and this has occupied the entirety of his Tot School time lately.  Because he is the "baby" of the family, and though is only 18 months younger than Canon, he's always been smaller for his age and behind in speech. Because of this all of the kids have really made him "their baby". They care so much for him and are so proud of all of his accomplishments. When he puts 3 words together in a sentence they all cheer and come and tell me. I love how they love on him. What a blessing he has been to our family. Definitely worth every sacrifice and the months on bedrest, and time spent separated as a family to get him here healthy. We are still amazed when we recall all the Lord brought us (and our immediate family) through to bring this sweet child safely into the world. And then when he was born and got an apgar score of 10, it was like the Lord was just showing off. Our cup is overflowing and we are filled with JOY! We are so in love with ALL our children and SO blessed the Lord has allowed us to care for them. What a humbling and hard job it is, but worth every second. Champ Andrew, we are so proud of you. We pray with all our hearts that Jesus would capture yours. That you would find your security and hope in Him, and spend all your days following the very special path He has intended for you. Loving God and Loving Others. And we LOVE you:)! Happy 3rd Birthday!
