I guess Uncle Evan thought every little boy and every little boy's Mommy & Daddy need a harmonica.
We can't wait to buy presents for his children!
It is hard for me to believe that you are three years old. You have spoiled me beyond explanation with our sweet relationship. You truly are a special child. You are much more sensitive than Eli, but also much more determined. You are very passionate about specific pursuits. You LOVE pretending to be a Revolutionary War soldier, fitting since Nathanael Knox is your name. You enjoyed every minute of the reenactment Daddy was a part of this year. You tell me nearly every day that next year you can be a soldier too because you have, "everything you need." You also enjoy baseball. We gave you a ball and glove for your birthday and you quickly referred to the Grasshoppers and mentioned they would probably want you to play. You still refer to Eli as "YiYi" or "my brother". You touch my heart with how much you love him. Sometimes he can be a little hard on you but you are the first to look out for him. You have a very forgiving spirit and the sweetest, tender heart. You did not utter a prayer at any meal or bedtime until the day after you turned three. You then announced that you would begin saying our breakfast prayer. It is very simple and very fitting.
Knox, we love you so very much and feel incredibly blessed to be your parents. We pray for you and hope that God is going to call you to do great things! You were such a surprise for our new family three years ago, but we would be absolutely lost without you. I hope we will always be best friends.
I love you,
Mommy
