I found these pics and almost cried!! The top one is Elijah on Easter Sunday and the bottom is Elijah in his car seat for the first time!! Isn't it amazing how fast they grow!!

Elijah is such a good boy. He is always smiling! People always tell me he is the happiest baby they've ever seen. He always has a smile for everyone!!

He turned 15 months yesterday. He is trying to say words. He can now say Hello, momma, dadda, papaw, nana, sis, baby, bear, shoe, dog, duck, quack quack, water, etc.

Brooklyn is sooooo excited about having another baby. One day I said "What will mommy do with 3 kids and only 2 arms?" Brooklyn said " I will watch all the kids!!" That's a scary thought. I know she will be a big help though!!

I can't believe she just celebrated her 3rd birthday. She keeps telling me that she still wants to be 2 still. She is so funny!

Well, I go to the doc next Wednesday to hear the baby's heartbeat. I am excited. I know everyone thinks I am crazy. But this baby was a surprise to me too!! I thought we were done having kids. John had convinced me that 2 was plenty. But I knew deep down that I wanted more. And John knew I wanted more. I just wasn't sure I was ready yet. But READY OR NOT here it comes!! A couple of my friends have 3 and they keep telling me that I will be fine. Dad says I will be fine, plus he gets another grand baby!!

I guess I'll go for now. I miss you all and love you all so much!!!

I was listening to the song "I can only imagine" today and I was thinking how wonderful heaven will be. I'll get to see my family every day. It's so important to have a personal relationship with Jesus every day!!

I'll talk to you soon.

Love,

Kristi
