Sweet baby Elliott,

You are one incredibly lucky little person. No one has ever been more wanted than you are. And you have a mommy and daddy who are so smart, and so loving that there is no doubt you will grow up to be the best possible you. And, they will teach you how to truly enjoy life, because that's what they do. Adding to your good luck is the existence of two sets of grandparents who will absolutely dote on you.

And you know who else is lucky? All of us who now have you in our lives! I love you already, and I barely know you. That's called unconditional love. As time goes on there will be more and more love that is based on who you are...your unique qualities. But I'm not hurrying time along. I'm enjoying every minute of experiencing the sweet development of you and of your parents.

Hold on to your cute little hats! (That's a reference to a common expression that may not still be around when you are old enough to read this) Here comes LIFE! You'll love it...most of the time.
