ABOUT        WE BELIEVE       SAY HELLO

May 19, 2011

BABY Ellie-

Your time is almost here to
come make your big debut into the world.  
Oh how this moment has been anxiously awaited by so many people.
There are so many anticipating your arrival
and just waiting to hold you and love you.  
You are going to be smothered with hugs and kisses. I hope you are ready.

Me, I am your aunt, that has been anxious for this day for a very long time.
I have wondered for so long about your 
eyes
lips
hair
and just everything about you.
What are you going to look like!?
It is killing me. 

We had a big party for you a while back.
You aren't even here yet but definitely spoiled!






















Your mother, oh what to say about your lovely mother!
Let's just say you are getting the best of the best.
And that is an understatement.




There is no one that understands more the importance and privilege it is to be a mother. 
She will hold this calling with the highest regard.
Every fiber of her being will be dedicated to the upbringing of you, babie Ellie, and
all of your brothers and sisters to come.


"The responsibility mothers have today has never required more vigilance. More than at any time in the history of the world, we need mothers who know. 


Mothers who know desire to bear children.
Mothers who know honor sacred ordinances and covenants.
Mothers who know are nurturers. 
Mothers who know are leaders.
Mothers who know are always teachers. 
Mothers who know do less. They permit less of what will not bear good fruit eternally. They allow less media in their homes, less distraction, less activity that draws their children away from their home. Mothers who know are willing to live on less and consume less of the world’s goods in order to spend more time with their children—more time eating together, more time working together, more time reading together, more time talking, laughing, singing, and exemplifying.
Mothers who know stand strong and immovable."
Julie B. Beck

Your mother is part of those 
"mothers who know"
(don't you forget it!)


LOVE, your AUNTIE DANI BREE
