Dear Grayson,

Boy oh boy, what a surprise you have been from the beginning! Before you came along our world was full of pink, but now to see some blue sprinkled in our house has been amazing =) Still hard to let it fully sink in that you are here and you are our adorable little BOY we hoped and prayed for for over 9 months! Knowing you are Lord willing our last baby, we are soaking up every tiny ounce of snuggling you to the fullest and then snuggling you a smidge more! Your coos, first sleepy smiles, your barnyard noises, every little thing you do we stare and ooh and ahh over. Even on the sleepless nights we know this time is fleeting so we savor each moment and each midnight feeding a tad more and pray for strength to face the day. We know it will pass oh too soon. It won’t be like this for long is entirely too true.  Each stage passes so quick so even when the days feel long, the years are short and fly by in the blink of an eye. We are loving every minute with you and praise God for your life! You are such a gift to our family and we cannot wait to see you continue to grow up before our eyes. We have huge hopes and dreams for you and so look forward to all the ways you will complete our family! We are so smitten over you sweet boy and so thankful for your precious life! Your sisters are pretty smitten too and love you dearly! You’re pretty special around our house and we hope and pray that only grows with each passing day! You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made….we know that FULL WELL.
