It's All Good 03/19/2012
 
Dear Glori Girl...

You're here! 

I have been so anxious to write you again. But you're a lot of work. We've been kind of busy. But in the middle of the busyness your mommy and me have loved hanging out with you, just looking at you, and introducing you to all the people and places that have been waiting for you. We introduced you to your GiGi, Mama Beth, P-Jay, Papa Bill, your uncles and aunts (though some only through daddy's phone), our neighbors, and a lot of our friends. You've already been to our church, my office, Philz Coffee, Town's End, and the Apple Store--and we're just getting started!

Dear Moriah and Jadon,

I wanted to write to you so much sooner. Your Mommy and I keep a blog of your lives. (Well, to be honest, Mommy does most of it.) Anyway, just know I have been busy being your Daddy. Moriah, you were so cuddly tonight. During the weekend you seemed a little upset, but I felt as if you were trying to make me forget all about it. Well, you did a great job...you tend to always do that to me.  I love you so much.

Dear Soleil,

I remember the first time I met you. You were born at 4:24 am on October 31 last year. When you were born, you cried briefly but not a lot. Your eyes were open and you were already trying to hold your head up to look around. I remember holding you seconds after you were born and just staring at you. You were staring right back. You looked like you were looking for answers.

Emilee, Kali, Josiah, and Elijah…

As of the time that I’m writing this, each of you are very young and yet so different:
  • Emilee, you are 6 years old and in Kindergarten! You have your Daddy’s stubbornness and your Mommy’s tender heart. Your smile makes my worst day bright and everyone says that your laugh is intoxicating. You are so smart! And sometimes too clever for your own good. But you are very special to us. And you are a terrific big sister!

Dear Baby Girl,

Your mother and I have been trying to figure out what your middle name should be for awhile. I thought "Jason" sounded pretty cool. Obviously it's a family name, but I don't think that's going to work. My favorite fruit and my favorite article of clothing were both already taken by two celebrity babies so that isn't going to work. Alas your mom and I would have to take some more time to figure it out.
