ERIC MATHEW ZINN'S BIRTHDAY
:)

Happy Birthday Eric

April 25th......

brought added 'joy' into the Zinn family
for Eric joined the circle
that would forever change each family member.

Look at the next few pictures....
eric was HAPPY
HAPPY, Happy, happy Eric
(look at that chunky baby!)
 Eric has brought laughter into our home
Eric is #6 in a family of 8.  I am unsure if it was that or just who he was but he seemed to take everything in stride.  He was never demanding; needing attention or wanting to be in the middle of things.  You would find him enjoying playing by himself!  He would go off with his ninja turtles; building with his tinker toys or flying up and down the street on his big wheel watching his super man cape flap in the wind!

from a very early age Eric loved to draw; create and build things.....
as a mother it is so interesting to know your child
as an infant
a toddler
a child
a teenager
and finally an
adult
I have watched Eric's life unfold
to where he is now!
Eric has overcome many obstacles
scaled many heights
accomplished many things!


Eric is working towards a degree
in
visual communication

he is amazing
with his classes
and stands out as #1
(this is not from a mothers point of view
but from his professors)
His designs are far above the others
he is a leader in his class
and sometimes helps the professor out with
the techniques he uses for his designs!
PROUD.....
yes.... Eric has
worked hard
done well
and is focused on his studies!
keeping a balance with
work, family & his church responsibilities!

They say behind
every good man there is a
good woman
and this truly is the case with Eric!

Irene works hard and supports Eric in his
school; his calling in Scouts and whatever
is important to Eric
is important to Irene


 Eric is

obedient
kind
talented
creative
loves the Lord
loves his family & would do anything for
any one of his family members!

The FIVE ZINN BOYS......
ask Irene about Eric
and she will tell you she married the 
MOST HANDSOME of the Zinn boys!!
she managed to make that statement in a talk
at church so Eric is now tagged with that characteristic!

as a mother I take disclaimer to that statement
if you ask me.... they all are #1



Eric is a good son and does much for me when it comes to house
improvements..... remember how 
creative he is and mix in his
perfection of things
 I am blessed with
some of those results
(and have a garage to prove those creative moments!)

Eric was super sensitive about being a BOY
He would let others know..
I AM A BOY
having three older sisters and
going through his church classes with all GIRLS
did not help
You've come a 
LONG WAY
from this
to
this
and I have LOVED being a small part of it!


HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Eric
may your day be filled with happiness and
you continue to find joy in the journey you are on!

EIGHT plus is ENOUGH to fill my HEART with LOVE!
