JOSIAH DANIEL
Josiah is turning 12 years old on the 15th of Feb. Shaun and I are the proud parents of this boy who is growing up so tall and maturing into a great young man.

When Shaun and I were married, I was eager to start expanding our family. Shaun said he needed some time for just the 2 of us so I waited (not always so patiently)! After we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary, I asked Shaun if he felt he was ready to "add" to our family. He said yes!! Within the next month we became pregnant. I loved being pregnant and gained 45 pounds over the next 9 months. We had a strong feeling that the baby was a boy...we were right! Two days before the expected date of arrival, lovely Josiah Daniel was born...21, 1/2 inches long and a whopping 9 pounds and 4 oz! What a beautiful baby. He had such long legs and big blue eyes.

How can it be that 12 years have passed since that wonderful day when our baby boy stole our hearts forever. Josiah is affectionate with his family. He is an encourger to his friends. He loves to share. He has a tender heart. He is so faithful to pray for those that are ill in health. He still thanks God (each night!) for his Dog (that we have had for almost 3 years now).

Josiah we are so glad that God chose us to be your parents. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Holly,

What a nice tribute.
I have to say though, that I do hate you..lol...it took Mike and I almost 2 years to concieve, at year #5--and I was sick the whole 9 months...BLEHHHH!! (I am sticking my tongue out right now)...
Nah, I really don't hate you. I'm glad you guys have been blessed with each other and with the kids.
Enjoy the next 12 years with him.
