Lilly


Wes and I found out on March 19th that we are going to be blessed with a baby girl! Wes was so excited when they said girl that he started hooting and hollering so loudly a nurse came in and asked if we were having a party. As for me, I was stunned! I really thought we were having another boy, in fact part of me is still skeptical, but I am SO happy for a girl. We plan on naming her Lilly Mae. Steele comes up to me everyday with a little pink outfit my mom bought us and says, "Mama is this Lilly's?" It makes me smile just thinking about it.
Speaking of Steele, he is such a good brother. Today, Gideon was crying and I was on the phone so I asked Steele to go talk to him. When I got off the phone I peeked into the bedroom and they were both sitting in Gideon's play-pen laughing.
I cannot express how much my kids mean to me. All the little things they do to make me smile far out weigh the things they do wrong. Wes always reminds me that the greatest treasure in life is family...well, I know that we are very rich, maybe not materially, but definitely eternally! Thank goodness for family!

Hooray for girls, just found out today were having a girl too! Is it just me or does she look like you? Hard to tell from an ultrasound but I definitely got that impression...

I miss those day's when my kids were small and played with each other...Not that they are all big now, but those were the best moments, watching them play and laugh together. Can't wait to see what Lilly Mae will look like...we are very excited for you. How is the house coming?
love you more...
your sister
