say its funny and say its pointless and not important, but even before we were with child i have been aware and concerned that our firstborn will not be born in texas. that is something that is very important to us...and he WILL always be...a texan! my parents gifted us with something few will appreciate...but those who know us will understand...a poem written just for us and...dirt! texas dirt from the backyard i was born and raised in. it'll be going to the hospital with us so that this babe can always say he was born over texas soil!!! needless to say...the composure of this emotional momma-to-be was shattered at that point in the gift opening process...and not easily regained. this meant so much to me!
...and if you remember this post and the promise i made to our little mister...you will see that his lala surprised us with little red boots before i left!!!! oh my how cute our little buckaroo will look in his little red boots and his diaper!

Do those boots come in a 7 1/2 adult girl size? Too cute! I mean, manly cute.
Unless you've lived in Texas (born and raised) you won't appreciate the pride. I'm not from there but have friends and they've convinced me that's it's pretty much God's little country.
How thoughtful of your family to do such a thing! Not weird at all.
I don't usually comment on the blogs of those I do not know but this blog touched my heart. I just stumbled upon your blog a little while back and have enjoyed following along.
I can totally understand the true meaning of the Texas dirt. I was born and raised in Fort Worth and never in a million years thought I would leave but 2 years ago I moved to NC. The first thing that I thought of when we moved was that I would not give birth to my children in TX and what a horrible thing that would be. I hope you don't mind but I might have to still this wonderful idea when I have my children. Born over Texas soil, the best that there is. :)
Good luck with your blessed baby boy.
LOL!! Isn't it so funny how important this is to us!! I was so blessed to get to come back to Texas to have Gracie. Having her elsewhere wasn't an option, but it might have been, had I had this special dirt!!
