My baby is 20!

Yeah, so my youngest child is about to leave his teen years!  

What the heck!?? That particular Spring in 1991 was so beautiful..we had a gorgeous plum tree in our yard,

that was in full bloom the day Michael was born, with beautiful purple blossoms. 

The air was sweet. Easter was just 3 days before, 

and I wasn't due until April 16th. 

Our little Katy was only 19 months old, Nick was 3 and Christopher was 5. 

I started with contractions in the afternoon, and by 

dinnertime I knew I needed to go to the hospital.  

Michael was born at 12:36 am Wednesday morning, April 3rd. 8 pounds 3 oz   19 3/4 inches long. 

 

He was born with one fist and arm stretched out above his head, and the cord around his neck twice. He had a full head of dark wavy hair, and a healthy set of lungs!  What an amazing day that day was, 20 years ago...

Now that baby is all grown.  He is in college, he is pursuing the Police Academy..he has an adorable, sweet kind and loving girlfriend named Nicole.  The blessing that he was that day the day he was born has been multiplied a hundred-fold, and in in so many ways.  I am so very proud of my son. 

He brings so much joy to my life...and I thank the Lord for him daily.

HAPPY 20TH BIRTHDAY, MICHAEL!
