Seven years of waiting
Endless hopes and prayers
Then God sent Joshua Allen
To wipe away our tears
The 22nd of December
At 2:14 on a Wednesday morn
Our 4 pound, 13 ounce “Peanut” decided
1999 was the year to be born
Though entering this world so tiny
Measuring just 1˝ feet tall
Our strong little boy has grown so quickly
Bringing joy to one and all
For health of body we are thankful
A blessing too is his sharp little mind
But our greatest prayer for this child is to know Jesus
Who would build his spirit to be gentle, loving and kind

When Joshua was born, Rick bought him an adorable teddy bear named Peanut Butter Cup. Peanut Butter was about the same length, and much fatter than Joshua in December. We are taking monthly pictures of the boy and his bear to show how much our son is growing.
