Dec 1982
Jenny and Elizabeth were so happy to come with Dad to pick you and me up from the hospital. They rubbed your head so softly and so long.
Jozanne and Naomi ran out of our house as soon as Dad and I and you pulled in the driveway. They took turns holding you until bedtime.
After everyone was in bed Jed took some time by himself to rock you and get to know you.
Mack helped Elizabeth hold you on her lap. He prayed in our family prayer that you and I would do well.
Jenny said as she laid down with you and also she put you on her lap, "Wouldn't Daddy like to take a picture?"
You often slept through all your brothers and sisters' cuddling throughout the day.
Jozanne responded quickly and happily when I told her she'd be able to have a turn with you when her work was done.
Elizabeth laid by you a lot, for a long time.
One time when Elizabeth was wanting to lay by you, you were in a box. She climbed right in. I helped her see that there wasn't enough room.
Jed spent extra time with you one evening letting you lay on his chest.
Elizabeth would get extra happy when I'd lay you on her lap. She always wanted to take off your socks and see your toes.
After our family enjoyed each one opening his/her Christmas gifts, everyone noticed your lack of presents. Mack then said, "she is a present herself."
You responded to our love, with listening to us with your whole body.
Jenny held you quite a while in sacrament meeting for her first time. She was so contented and quite.
I love you.
- Mom
