I wish...

For those of you who live far away (many of my blog readers, sadly!), I wanted to put together a list of things I wish you were here to experience with me. Elijah is growing up SO fast and the new things he does everyday are hysterical. He seriously keeps us entertained all day long.

1.  I wish you could experience his amazing smile in person.  As good as it is in the pictures, it's even better when you experience it first-hand!
2. I wish you could watch him move around like a little maniac with  no concern for things like doors, tables, and fireplaces.  And I sort of wish you could be here to help me save him from the many bumps throughout the day :).
3.  I wish you could see how effortlessly he goes from laying down to sitting up these days.
4.  I wish you could see the little games he makes up for himself.  For instance, today he was putting his toy turtle (named John, by Kirk) through his little mini basketball hoop and laughing hysterically when John would hit the ground.
5. I wish you could see how he lights up when Kirk gets home from work.
6.  I wish you could see how happy he is when we go in to get him out of his crib in the morning and how excited he is to see Mr. Giraffe who I keep in our bedroom for morning playtime.
7.  I just generally wish that those I love could all be around to watch this little boy grow up.  Thank the Good Lord for blogs, I guess!

I can't wait to get my hands on that boy and see you even briefly!

ok, so in case you didn't know....I am an addict. To yours and Jess's blog that is. I am sitting here crying right now because I always imagined a different future then what we are enduring now (you fulfilled your part of the dream). Maybe this is getting a little too personal on a public blog, however, I hope that you know that not a day goes by in which I do not think of you, your future and what OUR future has to come.

Cherish every day you have with Elijah, I am treasuring what I get to know of him....threw you that is!

I love you, Kirk and Elijah always!
