Dear Ditto,

Just like Genesis, your sister, Ditto will be your name until we figure out if you are a boy or girl.  Right now you are only about the size of two grains of rice, so we have a minute before we can find out what you are.  I already know that you are beautiful.  Anyone that comes from your mother and me has got to be.  Really just your mother.  If you are anything like your sister, you won't let us know until you pop out.  She was stubborn like that.  She hid her identity from us until the very end.  It was crazy, but very exciting.

Anyhoo, lemme introduce myself.  I am your daddy.  By the time you read this, I would like to think that you would know that.  Your mother is that beautiul young lady that you look up to.  The woman who gave birth to you.  And last but cedertainly not least, Genesis, that little girl that is always kissing you, is your sister.  We all adore you.  We are a kissing family.  There are more of us...like your aunts, cousins, grandma and grandpa and stuff like that.  But more about them in future letters.  Like I said you are only the size of rice right now, but we love you the size of a thousand dinosaurs.  And I pray that these letters express that when you think we don't.  There is nothing that you can do in all of the days of your life that can make our love die.  You are stuck with it like your skin.

In this household, we believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ.  He died on the cross for you, me, Genesis and all of mankind.  He is GOD's son.  I know, I know, this might all be confusing to you right now.  But, as the years grow you will understand where our heart lies.  You will understand why we try to treat everyone equally.  You will get why we try to bend backwards to help as many people as we can.  You will see why we may not know what the future holds, but we remain confident cause we know who holds the future.  And since we know that, than life is all good.  Cause GOD (the one who holds the future) is all good.  HE will protect us.  And give us all the tools to protect you.  Yay. 

Well, I might be giving you too much to grasp in your first letter.  By the time you read this, however, you probably would have been told this a million times.  I have to go.  Your sister is hungry and so is your mother.  Chances are, you in your mommy's stomach, are hungry, too.  Matter of fact, so am I.  Let's eat!!!

But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Keep it Natural.
