Happy Birthday Brent!

BIRTH ANNOUNCEMENT #2
Our expected June baby came 7 days late on July 4th. We became the 'million dollar family' with a girl and a boy!

His birth announcement was white cards with embossing around the perimeter which I had purchased at a store. I then hand typed all the announcements. Unfortunately I only kept one for Brent's scrapbook and all the rest where given away. I then had to type out a replica for our family scrapbook. Since Brent has his album in AB and we are in SK I am not able to scan it, but here is the wording. Perfect when the father of this baby was the Inventory Control Manager for a book publishing company.

Brent was named after my (Beccy) baby brother Brent Michael that passed away in 1968. And the name Michael is also shared by 2 brothers-in-law on both sides of our families. Another factor was that the first time we ever talked about baby names Dave suggested Brent saying "you know a boy's name I really like is Brent".  It was decided very quickly that our first boy would be Brent Michael and that would have been Darla's name. The third name concept was decided during Brent's pregnancy. Harold is Dave's father's name as he had been diagnosed with cancer and was very concerned about having a grandson to carry on the family name. We then decided to do a third name as a namesake for sons.

Brent was an extremely active baby, toddler, and child. He has grown into a careful, responsible, and respectful adult. He is loyal, passionate and a hard worker. His youthful energy has been channeled through his Lord into his life, his wife, his children, his vocation, his friendships, and his hobbies.

What an incredible journey his life has taken us on and we have enjoyed the ride!
