my tough guy

Dalton is learning to type on a keyboard at school and he came home the other day ready to hone his skills.

His first effort was a note to his grandma, GG.



Hey, gg!
We might adopt another baby, named Vivi!
Do you want me and mom to send a picture of Vivi when we get her?
She`s beuuuuuuuuuuutful.
You`l love her!
She has clubfeet and a
arm deformity.
I`m gonna make sure no one makes fun of her.
love,
Dalton

Clearly, Vivi’s going to be well protected.

And even more well loved.

    Your whole family is “beuuuuuutful”! It warms my heart when I see families that are teaching their children such great life lessons!! You are an amazing family and you and Chris are doing a great job at parenting your kids and making sure that they know they are loved. Congratulations on Vivi!! Love and my prayers, S. Kim

    Little girls need big brothers for sure. I can attest to that, and so can my daughters.

    Vivi is a very lucky girl.

    Oh…that is sooooo sweet! My oldest has been so protective of his little sisters. I love seeing this nurturing, compassionate side of my both my sons. If we never had adopted their little sisters, I would have missed seeing so much of who my sons really are. Maybe, without little sisters, this kind, loving side of them would not have developed to the degree it has. Vivi’s going to be showered with so much love!

    We just had our second little boy and my husband said we can have a girl now because she’ll have two big brothers to look out for her. =) Brothers are the best!
