Kai.  Can there be another name so sweet?  You are so precious.  It has been seven months since you arrived, and our family can no longer imagine life without you.  Helen is your best friend.  She constantly watches out for you, and when she hears you cry she says, “Kai’s sad!” and starts running to try and make you happy.  You are laughing these days, and are starting to be interested in every toy and everything around you.  You aren’t crawling yet, but you definitely figure out how to get around to the place you want, and cry when I don’t let you have the toy that you want.  You will be mad one day when I say this, but you are just like your dad.  Everything you do reminds me of him.  I pray you have his heart.  I picture your dada’s heart being one like David, who God said was a man after his own heart.

I can’t believe how God has blessed with me two happy and healthy children.  You and our family are now my priority.  I am willing to give all of it up for you.  God bless us and protect us.  Help us to remember that it is more important to be together and to know you than it is to have material things.  Thank you for our beautiful family.  Dear God,  You amaze me with the life you have given us.
