Joseph's blog post

Dear Little Sister,

I am so excited to see you! I am going to be a big brother. I am thinking about you, and I hope you'll like sports and skateboarding. Just so that you know, I like baseball. I can't wait to read to you, and I hope you like fairy tales. You are going to have lots of fun with us. Right when we get you, I'm going to want to hold you. On Friday and Saturday nights we have slumber parties and we watch movies. Whenever you want, you can have a slumber party with us. I hope you like video games, too. And I'm wondering, what flavor of ice cream do you like? Also,I can't wait to teach you how to tie your shoes.

Love,
Your big brother Joseph

Dear Sister,

I can't wait to meet you! I have been praying for a sister like you since I was four. Of course, I am very excited. When I was waiting for our brother Joe, I listened to Mom's tummy. But while we're waiting to meet you, all we will have is a picture of you and some information about you--and we are still waiting for that. It's a lot of waiting, but I know it'll be worth it.

That's because you'll be my sister!

(what I've always wanted)

When you actually come home with us, we'll do all sorts of stuff. I'll teach you to draw, how to tie a double knot in your shoe, and show you how to braid hair. I'll show you the piano and the room we'll share. I'll teach you how to shoot a basketball and how to love God.

We'll have a good time--I just know it!

Love Mikaela

Dear Sister,

I have waited so long. I know that it will be worth it when I get to China and see you. I'll go to China in the largest passenger plane in the world. It will take a really long time. It's a good thing that I have a Gameboy! I want to teach you how to play Gameboy, how to run fast, and how to swim. I would like to show you how to catch bugs and keep them alive in jars. Sometime we can go fishing. I'll read books to you alot, too.

Love,

Your big brother, Jacob
