Play Ball!

Today was a big day in the Alexander household. Not only did Josh turn 4 years old, but John Henry had his first day of t-ball practice. Poor John Henry has tried to get involved with t-ball last fall (missed the cut off), soccer in the spring (could get the last spot, but not on the team with his buddy Hayne) and football this fall (had to be 6 by November 30th - his b-day is December 6th) and so when the chance to play t-ball happened, we made sure that we didn't miss out. He is on the team with two of his friends, Carson and Ethan, and is VERY excited! The only drawback is that his team will be called the "Auburn Tigers" and since we are Alabama fans, we are having to make an extreme sacrifice :) . His practice went very well this morning and we are looking forward to his first game. This season should be a lot of FUN!!!

Happy Birthday Josh!!

Well, today my precious Joshi turns 4 years old. I can't believe that four years have gone by as quickly as they have. He arrived at 2:47 am weighing in at 8 lbs 9 oz - almost two pounds more than John Henry (he seemed like a giant!) From the moment he entered our lives, he stole our hearts and continues to do so everyday. Josh was our most wonderful "surprise" - Jon and I didn't "plan" on giving John Henry a sibling until he was at least 3 or 4 years old. But God, in HIS infinite wisdom and in HIS great plan for our lives, chose to make John Henry a big brother when he was 21 months old and we have thanked God ever since that HIS will is greater than ours and that HIS plan is ALWAYS better. So, on this very special day, I thank our Heavenly Father for the gift that he gave to us four years ago in the form of a precious little boy that we named Joshua Wayne Alexander. We cannot imagine our life without him.

Happy birthday my sweet "angel face" - we love you very much...
