I can't believe how fast time goes by! We celebrated Zachary being in our lives for the last 4 years today!
-I always try to relate and remember exactly what happened on this day in 2005
-we woke up that morning having no idea we would see our son for the first time that evening...
-Annette (Jeanine's sister) had flown into town to help but with three weeks to go, she flew back to ATL
-the doctor's visit on the 27th turned into "you need to go to the hospital today!"
-Annette landed and was BACK on an airplane a few hours later - (thanks again!!)
-went to the hospital and things were put into motion for a baby to be born on the 28th
-due to unexpected stuff, the doc made a decision about 10pm to come to the hospital and we were going to have a baby today!
-a little before 11pm, a very nervous man and the most amazing woman ever saw little Zachary for the first time...words still can't express all the emotion and energy of even the memory of that!
-And somehow, in spite of us openly confessing we have no idea what we are doing, Zach is now 4...do we need more proof that God is good? Hello??
-today Zach loves playing Monster Truck Jam on his Wii (which somehow went from "mine" to "his" in the last month or so), riding his bike, hitting a ball I pitch to him, tackling me and his brother, and anything having to do with cars, trucks, puppies and kitties...
-one of the most recent cute things he said was when I said something about "Miami"...and he said "what is yourami??" You can't make this stuff up!
-we celebrated by going to the zoo, eating cake (thanks Papa!), and spending the day together...it was great!

- one of his birthday cards says this... "since your last big birthday blast, a whole year just went speeding past..." I don't think it meant to be that profound, but that really struck me...Life flys by... so stop reading this and go hugs your kids or call your parents...whatever.... just go do it!
