A Note for our Baby: A Lesson About Family

Dear Baby Girl or Baby Boy--

 

Your dad and grandpa to be




We aren't sure if you have entered this world yet or not, but we pray each and everyday that God will watch over you until we are brought together.  I read recently about the legend of the invisible red thread--the one that is thought to connect those who are destined to be together.  We are holding to our red thread, waiting on the day that you will join us.

We had a very busy weekend getting things ready for your pending arrival (even though we realize it's a long way away).  Part of the process to prepare for you is getting our home ready.  In less than a week, we have important people coming to visit our house to make sure it will be a safe place for you to live and grow up in.  Since we want things to be extra special for you, we did a lot of home projects this weekend to prepare.  Your extended family was here to help us, in almost 100 degree heat, working hard to make everything wonderful.  I wanted to take a moment and try and tell you about the wonderful family that waits for you here.  They are the kind of family that puts aside their own needs to help others.  They include two (almost) uncles that pressure washed our house and painted the deck.  An (almost) aunt that painted, cleaned and sneezed (she is allergic to your kitties that live in the house).  A grandmom (Tutu) who scrubbed floors and reassembled rooms.  Another grandmom (Nay Nay) that painted, planted flowers, and cleaned.  A grandpa that painted, painted and painted some more.  What is so great about this family?  I could list a million different reasons how they bless our lives.  They love unconditionally.  They are supportive.  They demonstrate kindness.  And the best news for you little one?  They couldn't be more excited for you to join our family. 

We love you! 



Your (almost) Mama & Daddy
