To Our Sons

Dear Titus,

What a precious little one you are! Though you are a newborn, which sleep all the time, it seems that you are calmer and easier going than most. I have given you the nick name "Baby Bear" because, yes you are small and delicate, but have very manly features. Baby Bear seems to be the perfect balance of both delicate and masculine. I love to hold and rock you, and play with your wispy white hair. Thank you so much for being a wonderful nurser! You are now 7 lbs and 3 oz! 2 pounds up from your birth weight. We love you so much. You complete our little family of 5. 

Dear Eli,

You crazy boy! So much emotion for one so small! So happy one moment and devastated the next. You keep us on our toes, that's for sure. We are so happy you finally have teeth, for now you can eat what you please. And now you are learning how to walk. WOW! So much has happened to you in your little life, and you take it all so well. We are pretty sure once you have your next surgery and your blood oxygen saturation level is normal you will be so wild! You love to move, to laugh, to love. We love you. We do. 

 

Dear Isaac,

You are so fun. So creative. So full of life! You were once a very serious child, but no more! We love your imaginary friend "Monster's Inc." and welcome him into out home with open arms. LEGOs are the love of your life... at least for this week. You have a great compassion for your brothers and love to play and wrestles with anyone ready and willing. This week we got you a tennis racket, and though we shouldn't be, we are surprised at the backhand skill you have! You are one dedicated and observant boy. First born son, we love you. Thanks for loving us back.
