Marshall

Marshall is the Star of The Week this week at school.  He gets to do a lot of fun things to let his class know about him.  One of the days we are asked to write a Note that tells about why your child is an important member of your family and they share it with the class.  Marshall asked me to please not embarrass him.

Here is what I have so far, I'm know there is way more I could put, but how long does the class want to hear me brag about how great Marshall is ......

 We waited a very long time for Marshall to join our family.  When we found out that Mom was pregnant, we were so thrilled.  For nine  months we dreamed about what our baby boy would look like, and how much fun we would have with him.  On December 19^th we went to the hospital to have the baby.  Mom was in labor for a long time and Marshall got stuck and started having trouble breathing.  On December 20^th They took Mom back and did an emergency C- Section (surgery) and took Marshall out.  When they pulled him out he wasn’t breathing.  He was blue and not responsive.  It was a good several minutes before Marshall cried, and it was a cry that we will never forget.  As Dad watched the nurses do CPR on Marshall he was very scared that Marshall might not make it.  We are thankful that he did and that he didn’t have any problems from that experience.

Marshall is very important to our family for a lot of reasons.  He is a GREAT Big Brother.  He is always so kind, fun, helpful, loving and creative with his little sister Kambria.

Marshall has an amazing personality.  He can talk for hours telling us stories and is very entertaining. 

Marshall is funny.  We love the jokes that Marshall tells us and we have the best time laughing with him.  He has a very contagious laugh, once he starts laughing hard, its almost impossible to get him to stop and everyone else is laughing as well.

Marshall is  a good friend.  Marshall will go out of his way to make someone feel special.  He tries to always include others in what he is doing.  If he notices someone is sad, he will make sure to cheer them up.  He is fun to be around and is always coming up with fun ideas.

Marshall is also very honest.  He tries really hard to make the best decesion, and to always tell the truth.  This is something that Mom and Dad are very proud of.  We know that it isn’t always easy to be honest, but we are proud that Marshall is so good at it.

Marshall is very good at Basketball.  Dad is glad that Marshall loves Basketball, because it is his favorite sport as well.  Marshall can tell you anything you want to know about any player in the NBA.  We love going to games with Marshall and we love to watch him play Jr Jazz.

We could go on forever about why Marshall is so important to our family, he really is a good kid, and we wouldn’t be complete without him.  To sum it up; Marshall is important to our family because he is a miracle, a great brother, kind, fun, helpful, loving, creative, entertaining, funny, a good friend, caring, loyal, honest, athletic, trustworthy, and so much more.

We love you Marshall,

Mom and Dad.
