CJ,
Funny how a moment can change everything. As we wait for results from your labs I know so much already has! What really matters and what isn't even worth consuming your time. Whatever is before us, I give thanks and glory to God for His might hand is upon us. You are so brave and trusting and have given me the key to your heart so freely that I never want to take that for granted again! I want to enjoy every second of your innocence and pureness that is still left before the world steals it away. I want to memorize every second you are overcome with silliness and cherish the laughter that makes my heart skip a beat! So as we wait in such great uncertainty I rest in what we do know, God has you in His hands baby and He WON'T let you go!
Love, Mom

CJ,
Turning 5 has been a huge deal for you!!!! For the last couple of weeks you can be heard saying:

"You know what, this is the first time since I was five that I ever did..........."

It's so cute to hear the things you think of. Your excitement about life is contagious and refreshing!!! Thank you for being our ray of sunshine!!!
Love, Mom

LJ,
 It has been awhile since I have written to you. I have tried to find time but have been so busy with life and the craziness of our lives and then today I noticed something........ As I looked at you in the passenger seat, there was a little less boy in your face. I almost drove off onto the shoulder because my breath seemed to leave and not come back!!! It has begun......your journey into adolescent. I pray that I have several more years of seeing that little boy that drove me crazy, broke my heart, and could bring me to my knees. Did I waste all that time? I don't know but what I do know is that I look forward to really getting to know you as you grow into a young man. So far your life has always been what we have expected out of you and now, the tide has turned and we get to see what you will get out of life. I love you dearly and although I mourn the days of yesterday I am excited to see the man you will become in the days and years to come!!!!!!!! But for now, I will cherish and not think it a burden each night I get to sing our special good-night song!!!!
Love, Mom
