I think we are all beginning to go a little stir crazy in this house. The cold continues, the snow continues even at this temperature....I have no idea how. Regardless we are well to enjoy it. We might finish school early too, because even if the public schools are out we are still doing school. I would much rather spend my days outside than in doing school so we will make haste during the cold.
My Dear Eli,
I look at you everyday and realize you are turning into a boy. I am scared as you turn 5 in a little over a month. 5 years! I still remember the days it was just you and I. I can't believe you are that tiny scrawny little babe we brought home. You grew your cheeks one night shortly after we got home and I still remember waking up and saying, "He got cheeks!"
You make our house so loud, but always so interesting. I know I can find you building or making something this time of year usually on the heat vent. I can hope that one day you use your building skills to become an engineer. I don't know how you do it, but you can build anything and are always amazing me with new things. You catch on quickly to anything. Many times when I think you are not listening in school you are absorbing it all.
I can count on you to help with any manual labor that needs done especially shoveling snow. You love to work and I hope you always keep that spirit. I can also count on you to begin a wrestle match at any time of the day aka WRESTLE MANIA! I blame your dad for starting that when you were way too little. You may be loud, ask A LOT of questions, drive me to insanity at times, and not want to sleep when it is time BUT you are a wonderful joy to have around. You are an amazing big brother. I couldn't ask for a better first born. I LOVE YOU!
