a promise to nurture

on friday, sweet girl, we received an important document saying that your government is okay with us 'nurturing' you. i promise to nurture you. i wonder what kind of women have influenced you so far? i love that you will remember and one day be able to share it with me, if you choose.

tonite your sisters and i read animal books, baked zucchini bread, and played barbies. i think you will like girl nights too. your brothers and dad stayed out at the farm and picked tomatoes, lots and lots of them, to make salsa. and then they shot rifles. they were very happy. will you be a barbie girl or a rifle-shooting girl? maybe you will be both :)

i was very relieved to get this pre-approval. this means someone, other than us, knows we are coming for you. right when God ordains it to be so.
