I was looking through all of the pictures that I have of all of my nieces and nephews and just felt so blessed. I am so pround to be their aunt and love them so much. I can't wait for them to teach our child so many things! They each have such different personalities, yet they are each equally as special to Sean and I. I decided to write them each individually...

Brigg,
You have the most kind heart of any child I have ever met and you always know just the right words to say to make someone feel loved! This, from a 4 year old, is incredible! The day you were born and I held you in my arms, I was forever changed! You taught me how to love in a way I never knew possible and prepared me for all of the future nieces and nephews that would enter my life. You are the most amazing boy, and you could not be a better example to your sister and cousins! I hope you influence our child to be as sweet and honest as you are!

Nalani,
Your smile warms my heart and your carefree spirit makes everyone want to be around you! In just a few short weeks of life, you taught me and everyone in our family, that we were stronger than we ever knew. You taught us that we are not in control, and that we just have to have faith and pray that we can get through tough times. Also, you taught me that a little infant could be stronger than I ever have been. You are such a strong and determined girl, and I hope you can teach our child to have half as much strength as determination as you do!

Bode,
Your happy nature and curiousness are refreshing! I knew from the moment I heard you would be arriving that you would hold a very special place in my heart. Your smile and excitement are contagious! You taught me a different way to love! To see you smile is one of the best feelings that I can have and to hear you laugh brings me more joy than I ever knew possible from such a simple action! I can't wait to see the wonderful man you will become. You have an undeniable gift of being able to make everyone around you happy. I cannot wait for you to teach our children that life is fun and to enjoy every minute of it!

Leah,
You are such a sweet girl! Your smile is beautiful and your eyes are full of life! Your relaxed nature is soothing and holding you in my arms, I never want to let you go! You make everyones' hearts melt just by laying in their arms. You have taught me that no matter how many neices or nephews enter my life, I will be able to somehow produce just as much love for this one as I did the one before. I cannot wait to see you grow and learn and experience life! I hope you can influence our child to have that same relaxed nature and warm heart that you have!

Tyler,
Before I met you, I had never seen such a little being in my life. I never knew that I could hold such a precious life in my arms and barely feel it laying there! It's amazing how something so small can have such a huge impact on one's life. Your sweet little smile is contagious to all who see it! You are growing quickly and have shown already that you're up for any challenge! You have a bright future ahead of you and I cannot wait to watch it all unfold! I can tell already that you are a determined boy...if you want something, you won't give up! I hope you will teach our child to have determination and to never give up!

Sean and I feel so honored to be able to say that you are all our nieces and nephews! Sean and I feel so blessed to have such precious children in our lives that we love so much. We never knew that a child could teach us so much, but each of you have taught us more than we could have imagined! We cannot wait to see each of you grow and enjoy life. Thank you for teaching us how to love in a way we never knew possible! We feel as though our child will be so blessed to have so many wonderful cousins that can teach it many important things! We love each of you more than words could express! Posted by Picasa
