A Special 'I Love You'

Camilla has been practicing her A B C's lately.  She will repeat each letter all the way up to "I". Instead of repeating the "I" she finishes it with a super enthusiastic "LOOOOOVE YOU!". Needless to say, we haven't made it quite to "J". When we got home on Easter Sunday, Mr. Stannix had a very special experience with Camilla that he wanted me to blog about so that our kids could read it later. He gave me permission to share a bit of what he wrote in his journal.

“...We got home and got Camilla ready for bed and when she came to give me a hug and kiss she whispered ‘Love you!’. Joy just flooded my heart. I felt like I could re-live a hundred of those moments; nothing seemed more desirable." ~Mr. Stannix

I was in the kitchen when it happened and heard her sweet little voice say a very sincere "Love you" followed by a big hug. It was a big deal because she doesn't say it without being prompted usually. It was such a sweet little moment that it even touched my heart. Mr. Stannix was grinning from ear to ear the rest of the night, filled to the top with love. What a special thing it is to share our love with our family.

It's hard to believe that she was EVER that small AND that in less than a week (hopefully) you'll have ANOTHER one that tiny! I just love reading about your family! <3
