How Do I Love E? Let Me Count the Ways.... (an abbreviated list)

1. He has the biggest, brightest, best smile of anyone I have ever met.

2. He cracks me up when he squints his eyes shut as hard as he can, puts his hands together into one balled fist, and is completely silent for a moment then yells, AMEN!

3. His love for trucks is adorable.

4. He loves attention and will turn on the repeat button when he notices he got a laugh.

5.  He talks to everybody.

6.  He's a really nice guy.

7. He runs all rigid with both arms out in front.

8.  He loves his sister like nothing else.

9.  The way he slurps his elephant tail.  Disgusting, but sweet.

10. The way he takes care of Chlo's babies and gives them cuddles and kisses.

11.  When we are at a park or the mall play area, he plays hard, but runs over every few minutes for a kiss and a cuddle.

12.  His eyes light up when he sees me.

13.  He can't walk in heels.

14.  He cries for me everytime I drop him off, but immediately starts playing when I'm out of sight.

15.  His voice is all low and gravelly like a young Johnny Cash.

16.  He loves "Ashes, Ashes", and always wants to spin.

17. The way he mimics other little boys is hilarious.

24.  He can't jump yet, but he spends so much time trying.

25.  He shoots me with lasers.

25.  He makes the funniest George W. Bush faces.

27.  He chooses Daddy over cookies, and chicken over ice cream.

28.  The way he bows his head for me to kiss his crown when I say "Kiss Please."

I almost cry when I think of how much I'm missing in not seeing these beautiful children. I do enjoy hearing everything about them. Hope we can make a trip to Raleigh before too long.
