Introduction....

Hello,

We haven’t had the pleasure of officially meeting, but I’ve heard great things about you. For years I’ve heard you (well some of you anyways, mostly the Dennis Clan) giving mom and dad a hard time because I wasn’t there yet, but I was taking my time….marinating. There’s a lot of planning to do and preparations to make, so I was working on the right time to make my appearance and the time has finally arrived.

Mom and I are just getting to know each other as well, and bonding…lots of bonding. Sometimes, I make her sick, though not intentionally. It’s just that I’m growing quickly, and need to be fed every few hours. So….when, I get a little hungry, and antsy…mom gets sick, and sometimes really sick. We had a little bout with gastroenteritis three weeks ago, (Mom caught it from my god-sister Jeilin), but we’re all good now.

Lots of great things are happening these days. I have eyes, ears, my arms and legs are in and I’m really getting the hang of this swimming thing. I’m going to be in the Olympics one day!!!!!

So, not to make this too long, as we’ll be chatting quite often and I'll share some pics of myself soon. Really, they didn’t capture my best side, but it is what it is. At least you get to see a brief preview until we meet in person later this year. I’m anticipating a grand entrance on August 22, but as these things go….who knows. I might decide to come a little early as I hear the accommodations aren’t the best the older and larger I get. You never know, I might get out early for good behavior!!!

Be seeing and talking to you soon!

Love,
