My babies, here are a few of my favorite things about each of you right at this moment.
Lorraine
I love how well you are doing
with the piano.
I love that you bought a new
volleyball with your birthday money.
I love what a helper you are to
me with the littler kids- I even got to run on the treadmill yesterday
afternoon thanks to you!
I love sharing inside jokes
with you.
Aggie
I love your constant-picture
making for everyone.
I love that you were so excited
to give Lorraine her birthday present that you nagged me like crazy until I let
you give it to her: ten days early.
I love that you just read an
entire Magic Tree House book to yourself.
I love that your short hair
gives you less trouble with tangles like you hoped.
Seth

questions all the time, and that you love to stump me.
I love when you explain
mechanical and scientific things to me.

Disney made you skip with me!

great swimmer!
Marcus
I love the laughter that you
bring to this family.
I love that trouble-making
sparkle in your eye, even though it scares me!
I love when you tell me you
prayed for Peter because he’s sick, and then you try to cheer him up by letting
him knock you over.
I love when you finally pass
out in bed, sitting up.
Eldon
I love how excited you get when
you see your blanket- it’s like you are reuniting with an old friend!
I love how badly you want to be a “big boy” all of a sudden!
I love how badly you want to be a “big boy” all of a sudden!
I love that the way you say
“Marcus” sounds like “Yarcus.”
I love when you run to hug me and we tip over.
Peter
I love that you are FINALLY
saying “mama!”
I love when you are happy to go
to bed: you giggle when I tuck you and you blow me kisses!
I love that you still sometimes
like to snuggle to sleep on me.
I love how your dimples can
always make me so happy.
