Dear Levi,
Your sister Rachel and I are eagerly awaiting the day that you will become a part of our family. While we wait for all the important documents to be completed so that we can travel to get you, we are preparing for your arrival in our home. Today we spent time painting your room together. I think your sister enjoyed painting mom more than the walls! We laughed a lot! We talked about how much we hope that you will have no problems realizing how much we love you and that you will quickly learn to trust us and our love for you.

All my love,
mom

Awwwwww.

I love that you are writing "letters" to him before he arrives. He will cherish those when he is grown.

Hugs,
