Where does the time go? My little Gregory is 9 years old. I can remember that first time we found out we were expecting you!

We had only been married for a couple months. It was the beginning of November in 1999. We planned a little trip to the Hatton’s cabin. Just Brian and I for a weekend. I felt strange the whole time. Brian had wondered the week before if I could be pregnant and so I went to the Dr. but the test was negative. At the cabin I threw up once and just felt yucky. Brian kept telling me “I think you are pregnant”. I just brushed it off and I didn’t think much of it really. Then a couple days after we got back I bought a pregnancy test. I remember taking it and then running out of the bathroom, too nervous to look. So Brian went to look. And yup sure enough we were pregnant with YOU!! Our sweet little Gregory Michael Kraft!

I remember being so excited that in a few months you would be apart of our family! Your birth story is here

You were born on July 22, 2000 at 10:05 am. Weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and they say 19 inches long (although we think you were longer).

Gregory,
You bring so much joy to our lives. You are a true gift from God and we are blessed to get to raise you. So thankful to God, that He would entrust us to raise you. We are so proud of you and love all that you are. You have a great love for God and strive hard to live a life well pleasing to Him. You have a great sense of humor, we love your laugh! You have a tender heart for others and your animals. You are great at sports and have a gift to know statistics and are good with numbers (take after your daddy for sure!). We love your drawing, you have a true gift!

We pray that this coming year brings lots of blessings for you and that God will be glorified in your life. That you will stay strong in the public school and that you will keep learning more and more about Him and that you continue to grow in the grace of Jesus! May God continue to grow you into the man that He wants you to become!

We love you Gregory!

Happy Birthday!!
