I know that there is nothing your daddy and I could have done to deserve Your brother Elijah, and now the excitement of new, precious life, our expected little girl. You are already our little jewel, our treasure, and we know just how blessed we are to be given such a gift. You are a gift sent from our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us, and is now knitting you together in mommy's womb. Jesus' love is like no other you can ever experience. It surpasses all other love, and goes way beyond what we are even capable of understanding. I know this because I sometimes just sit and cry silent tears from witnessing His faithfulness, His love, His support, and His presence in my life, and in your daddy's life as well. I told someone the other day that your daddy is my walking, living, breathing testament of God's power, and what He is capable of. I witnessed changes in your daddy from high school, from when we first met, and to now. I can't even begin to translate into words how much God changed his heart and life into this amazing, Godly man that now stands before me. Plus, He works daily in both of us changing our hearts and lives. I'm so thankful that we serve a God who is willing to take time with us, talk with us, heal us, speak to us and who is willing to forgive and then on top of that forgiveness, mature and grow us. We were talking about our beginnings a bit ago, our engagement, and then our wonderful wedding day. We were snuggling and laughing and flirting, and remembering the funniest stories. Our first year of marriage was a year to remember, let me tell ya! We have so many hilarious, and treasured stories to tell you guys later ;) I love being so in love with my husband. I love that he still scratched my head at night just as he did in the beginning. I love that he still takes me out, and that he still gives me back rubs. He is a loving man Emma, and you will reap the benefits of having a father who is loving, and who will take good care of you. He is a hard worker, and strives hard to give this family what it needs. I spied on him tonight!!! heehee ;) He was putting your brother to bed tonight and I stood in the doorway all sneaky watching what he does. He kissed his head, laid him in his crib while humming a melody. He then gently gave him his bottle, and then tucked his covers in all around him. Then he just stood there looking at him, and then rubbed his head a while. Then he dipped down and kissed his head and whispered goodnight! I was so touched. I love getting to see little moments like that! We were walking up the stairs together as he was grabbing at me being silly, I turned around very suddenly and hugged him around the neck and told him he was a good daddy. He just smiled. Your a lucky little lady Emma, to have a daddy who cares and who wants to be a daddy. He wants to take care of his baby, and I know how excited he is about your arrival! He keeps mentioning it to me, as I do to him. Hahahaha... You have a heavenly Father who loves you more than we can comprehend, and that heavenly Father has now blessed you with a loving earthly father who already loves you very much! Oh goodness Emma, we are so not perfect and we have our issues, but there is love here. We know Gods love, we know our love for each other, and we know that when God is in the center of our lives, we can do so much! I get tired, and weary, and so does your daddy... But, we will always try, and always care. Funny story that's not really funny... Today I was super stressed trying to edit photos for a lady who needed them WAY sooner than was originally planned. I was dealing with that, and on top of that, got little sleep, and was feeling nauseous. I just sat back in my chair and looked at your dad and said, "babe, do you ever feel like you just need more blood? Like... your out of blood, and want more?" Hahahaha... He really didn't know how to respond at first, but being the guy that he is tried to talk it out and relate. He eventually did, and then offered me his neck! Hahahahahahahahahaha! Get it? Ok, anyway, I really meant what I said about feeling low on blood, there was probably just a better way to put it. But every time I stood up, I would feel dizzy and get that white out thingy. So yes, I believe I could have used some extra blood today. Hahaha! I will end this letter by saying that yes your dad is lovely and all, but I LOVE YOU TOO, hehe, and I'm a pretty good mom too. ;) I love being a mom, and it's pretty much the best life ever taking care of my precious babies. Yes, I take care of you while in my tummy too. God does most of the work, but I try to contribute ;) I would like to take this opportunity to apalogize to your daddy for being so moody as of late. He made a comment about my nerdy bangs and I acted all hurt. It really didn't even bug me, I guess I just reacted to fast. He picked up Eli and said oops, I think we may have upset mommy. I responded with... "we?" hahaha! I can't help that I cut my bangs too short and now my husband thinks it's the best source of joking. I'll get him back. I'm the one who cuts his hair, and lets just see how that goes ;) muuuaaahahahahaha! Just kidding, I wouldn't purposfully do that, it would totally be on accident and stuff... ;) Love you
Oh and valentined day was fun this year! We invited our parents over for dinner and dessert. Your dad made dinner and I made dessert. It was so much fun to hang out with them, and just have a good time full of love!
