Mother's Day

Dearest Henry,

     Today is your first Mother's Day.  A Sunday that is just to celebrate Mommas.  In church today there was a Parent Dedication.  Today your Mommy and Daddy asked everyone in Church to help encourage you and to help guide you as you grow.  You were given a blue Bible New Testament with your name engraved on it.  We pray that you will grow up to be a good and godly man like your Daddy, Poppa and Grandpa.  We were so happy to be a part of your dedication to the Lord.  We love you so very much and love to see you smile and giggle.  We praise Jesus that you are healthy and strong.  Thanks for letting us be a part of your first Mother's Day.

We also got to celebrate with you on your 4 month birthday.  Mommy had a cookie monster party for you.  Poppa and I made the Cookie garland for your pictures.  You are growing up so quickly.  We love being here with you and your brothers.  Your giggles make me laugh and I love your smiles.


Your Diva,

Hooray, We get to visit.

Dearest Henry,

     Look how big and healthy you are.  Poppa and I couldn't be happier to see you so healthy.  You seem to grow every day and it makes me sad that I can't see you more often.  This picture was taken before we all went to church this morning.  I love my boys and it was really hard to leave you. We love you so very much.

Learning from the best

Hello Darling Baby Henry

Your family moved to Tennessee just a few months before you were born.  Your very clever Daddy did all the work on your house with the help of Mommy and occasionally Poppa.  Your Daddy loves you so very much that he would hold you while still trying to work on the house so your dear Mommy could get some much needed rest. 

So dear boy, don't ever think your Daddy doesn't love you.  You were always close to his heart even while he was caulking.

This is a picture of love in action.

My Poor Sick Boy

Dearest Henry,

This picture breaks my heart.  You are so small and in the hospital with RSV (respiratory virus).  They took an x-ray of your lungs and there is congestion in the right upper lobe.  You are wheezing and coughing .  You are getting breathing treatments.  Mommy is staying with you.  Please dear Jesus, touch our little Henry's body and bring healing.  Amen.

Your Diva

Good Morning Sweet Pea....

      Your Poppa and I have been watching Veggie Tales with your brothers so that's why the vegetable reference!)   Speaking of children's TV shows even Poppa can do the "Hot Digggety Dog Dance" now from the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse programs and I think we have seen every "Blues Clues" Show every recorded.  Your brothers are both sick and we have been trying unsuccessfully to keep them away from you.   They love you so very much that it is really hard for them not to want to touch you or kiss you. 

It snowed last night so here is a picture of you and your Mommy out in the snow.  Snow falls from the sky and is white and fluffy and cold.  Your Daddy makes snows ice cream from time to time.  You'll like it when you are older.  Diva loves to be a part of your "firsts".  So this is your first snow day.

Speaking of firsts....this is your one week birthday.  We celebrated with cookies and making party hats.  We hope to celebrate many firsts with you and your brothers.  You may be the littlest person in our family but you have a large part of this Diva's heart.

Love you little man,

Your Diva

All the Bomgardner Boys

Dearest Henry,
  
      Today is Saturday and your brothers could hardly wait to get to the hospital to see you (and of course Mommy and Daddy).  We stopped at Krispy Kreme doughnuts on the way to the hospital to bring some chocolate covered doughnuts to your Mommy.  You'll get to know that doughnuts are a special treat especially when they are still hot.(more on that later!)

     Your brothers have colds and we are trying very hard to keep them away from you so you don't get what they have.  Here's a picture of your Poppa and Diva.  We love you so very much and pray for you every single day. We will be so happy when we can bring you home.

      Sleep well, you are loved and cherished.

Your Diva

Hello Henry!

Dearest Henry,

   Welcome to our world little one.  You have had a long day and so has your Mommy.  Your were born this afternoon and your Diva, Poppa and brothers have been waiting impatiently to see you.  We all got to hold you even big brother Oz and Charlie.  Thank you for making our family complete.

   Your Mom and Dad will be staying at the hospital with you for the next few days while Poppa and I watch after your brothers.  They really want you to come home now as they have been rocking a baby doll in the bassinet and singing to him getting ready for your arrival.

 Know that we have always loved you and will always love you and that we pray for you every single day.

So happy you are here now to be a forever part of our family and of our hearts.

Your Diva
