8 years ago we brought you home.

Our heart was now outside ourselves.

Every day you bring us so much joy.

We cannot believe how fast you grew.

With your little personality.

Full of life and happiness.

And you are the best big brother. How loving you are.

Each year that passes makes us love you more.

Sharing as you explore the world.

Growing into a big boy but always our baby. Our first baby.

Mommy thinks.. you're growing too fast.

We're soaking it all in...

But some days I want to rock you again. At least I can still pick you up!

We are so proud of the big boy you have become. You amaze us every day with your intelligence, your kindness, your silliness, and your love.
Chase you are SO big and you are 8 now!

But you will always be our baby! Always. We love you.
While we try to teach our children all about life, Our children teach us what life is all about.~Angela Schwindt
