April is coming to a close!!! The end of April brings ONE MORE APRIL BIRTHDAY!...... This month is filled with family birthdays if you haven't noticed from my blog postings. So who is "winding up" April?

Eric Matthew Zinn

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC!

APRIL 25

was such a special day in the Zinn family household when

Eric joined our family circle!

I took out Eric's baby book and was looking through it while I was waiting for them to come home from the Summit Branch today. Eric was born on Wednesday the 25th at 3:20 PM. He weighted in at 10 pounds 2 ounces and was 22 inches long. His head was 15 inches and chest was 14 3/4...... no small boy was he.

When you hold your baby for the first time you wonder what lies ahead and what he will be and what he will do in life. As a child, Eric was happy to go off and play by himself. He was always filled with adventure playing the roll of Super Man, Batman, Spiderman and any other "hero character" he might think of. He dressed the part and lived the part. Moon boots and all! :)

Through those growing up years Eric stoled my heart with his "love & kindness".

It's funny because there are the two oldest brothers then THREE older sisters....which meant he had a "real" MOM, two older sisters who would be his second mom and a sister just 18 months older that was the "boss" of them. Eric went along with everything she asked of him, playing school, playing church" because that is the way he thought it worked. Then one day the "light came on" and he realized that he did NOT have to play school or church or what his sister wanted to do! I would say that Eric was blessed to have so many young women that cared about him while growing up AND STILL CARE ABOUT HIM TODAY!
