I can't believe how much our lives have changed since Abel and Elias have made their entrance into this world. Our lives are wild, forever changing, and completely full of love...I can't imagine my life being any other way and wish I would have known back then what I know...
Adam. I don't tell you nearly often enough how much I love you, how I love that you are my life partner, and love me for who I am regardless of my endless ranting about EVERYTHING. You're a wonderful man, a beautiful father, and my best friend. I feel your unconditional love when you look at me and know that I can be myself around you completely, go and bad. Yes. We argue, say hurtful things to each other, but always end the night with I love you's. I'm thankful to have met you, had babies with you, and decided to share my life with you.
Liam. You are the most precious little boy ever. You were my first born, my first parenting experience, and my love. You're my tender hearted little boy who's feelings get hurt easily, who goes at things with your whole heart, and your love for me, your dad, and your brothers just radiates. You love being the center of attention (like your father), you are satisfied with just sitting on my lap and staring into my eyes while making silly faces, and you love to make your brothers belly laugh by zipping around the house and yes, this includes showing them your butt from time to time. I see you going far in life. You'll graduate from college one day, probably in something Math related (you didn't get that from me) and you'll have a career that you love and look forward to going to everyday, because I never see you settling for second best. You'll have babies. Oh Liam. Please have lots of babies! Maybe this is just my wishful thinking, but I don't see you moving far away from me because you are my boy...my special best friend...and best buddies till the end. I love you my sweet boy...
Abel. My second born. You are a live wire! You like to smile and blow bubbles and then immediately hid your face in the nearest shoulder, which is usually grandma's because you are a grandma's boy. You have beautiful eyes, perfect ears, and a belly laugh that kills me everytime. You are showing me more and more everyday how independent you want to be and I can tell that you are going to be my handful. I see you being independent, probably moving away from me someday (yes it will break my heart) but I know this part of the world will not help you reach your full potential. You'll graduate from college, find a career, and hopefully still call me on the phone AT LEAST nightly. You too will have babies and wife that will love you. Maybe she'll be able to tame your "wild side?" Let's face it you're going to be a million miles ahead of everyone else...I love you Abel-babel...
Elias. You my last born and my baby. You're me. A carbon copy of your dear old mom. You snuggle, cry at loud noises, and prefer to be carried around as opposed to being left alone to entertain yourself. You have big blue eyes that wrinkle around the corners when you smile, a little button nose that it perfect for giving eskimo kisses, and a headful of hair that I love to snuggle. I see you loving life everyday, taking care of your brothers, and not wanting anyone to be upset. This is going to be a lot for you to handle, but I see that your heart is kind and capable. I know you too will graduate from college, marry the love of your life, and have lots of babies. Boys like you are the boys that get scooped up first. Your wife will think you are a treasure and she will wonder how she ever got so lucky. I love you Eli-a-saurus Rex...
To my family of five. My life is complete. My life is full of love. My life is full of adventure. I never want to imagine my life without any of you in it...growing together and loving each other. We have everything. As my good friend Emily said: My heart is full.
