Letters to Teddy

On Friday, February 4, 2011 our sweet nephew was born (and Anniston and Treyson's sweet cousin!). Theodore Clarence (named after grandparents), also known as Teddy! He was 2 pounds, 6 ounces and 13 inches long.

Teddy is so special in our hearts. You see, God called him home before we ever really got to know him. We already loved him so much, because our love for him had been growing in our hearts ever since we found out Tracey was pregnant. We are so sad to not be able to know him here on earth, but we also know that heaven just gained a precious baby angel. I am 100% confident that he is in the best of care with Jerry's sister, Leah. All she ever longed for was a baby, and her time here was cut ridiculously short with her precious Kinley. So now, I can only imagine that Leah is rocking and loving on Teddy for Tracey, just as Tracey loves Kinley.

We told Anniston and Treyson about Teddy, and that he went to heaven to be an angel for God. We told them that we were going to send Teddy sweet notes and that we had to fly them up to heaven with balloons because the mailman doesn't deliver to heaven. I wrote down what the kids told me to say.
Treyson's is spoken from a 2 year old, huh?!! So sweet....
We drove out to Razorback Stadium to release the balloons.....we know that Razorback Stadium is directly below heaven, so this was a quick route to heaven!! HA!








































We love you sweet Teddy. You are a beautiful little boy, and you keep a good watch over your Mommy, Daddy, big sister Kinley, and big brother Will!
