HAPPY 12TH BIRTHDAY
PARKER MICHAEL GLENN
Today is Parker's 12th birthday. Hard to believe this boy, my first-born is almost a teenager. It seems like yesterday the picture shown here was taken. This is the first time I held this precious child. I was overwhelmed with emotion. The thought that this little life was completely my responsibility was very scary. I wanted all of the nurses to come home with me! I was fortunate to have a wonderful grandmother that so generously shared every bit of wisdom on raising children with me. I called her often!
He (Parker) is developing into a fine young man. He is interested in so many things. He loves his family - I think - and is an eager and fast learner. Ron and I are looking forward to the man he will be. We now view the responsibility of parenting as a privilege as well. We have the opportunity to shape future leaders, doctors, singers, actors, engineers, etc... Throughout this process we've had the privilege of many kisses, hugs, tears to wipe and the words we never tire of hearing "I love you Momma and Daddy". We especially love the days when we are privileged to witness them reach life's milestones.
We love you Parker! Happy Birthday!

NOEL MARIE...

Ron and I are so proud of Noel. She let us know this afternoon that she won third
place in the 5th grade science fair at her school. This means that she will advance to the district fair. Wow! We are so proud of her. She went to the district fair last year as well. We are thrilled that she's done so well!
She is a talented girl; creative in so many ways. We had to fill out her class list for 6th tonight. Can't believe she's already there. Incredible that she's overcome so many hurdles in her life and has become the amazing young lady we love and appreciate so much.
