Cruz Edsel Olson new arrival

Cruz Edsel Olson

I WAS BORN: Nov. 11, 2011, in St. Luke’s hospital in Duluth.

MY PARENTS ARE: Josh and Alyssa Olson of Cloquet.

MY GRANDPARENTS ARE: Lisa Johnson and Kieth and Laurie Olson, all of Esko, and Mark Johnson of Saginaw.

MY GREAT-GRANDPARENTS ARE: Ron and Bonnie Edin of Cloquet; Robert and Sharon Shofner of Brooks­ton; and Cynthia Olson of Esko.

MY PARENTS CHOSE THIS NAME BECAUSE: They’ve loved it for years and it really suits me. They didn’t know if I was a boy or a girl until I was born, but they only had one boy name and two girl names so that pretty much determined it once they got to finally meet me.

PARENTS’ WISH OR ADVICE: We hope you always know how loved you are by so many people. We wish for you nothing but happiness in your life. You have brightened so many people’s lives and you’re such a blessing. We love you!

SOMETHING SPECIAL: Mommy and Daddy were married on 10/10/10 and when we found out your due date was 11/11/11 we couldn’t believe it! And then you were actually born on that day! You truly are one special little boy and you light up every room you are in. We couldn’t be more bles­sed!
