to our future child




you will be home schooled until high school.  not because we don't want you to have all the friends in the world or because we want you to be an outcast (although you will realize that this isn't a bad thing someday) or because we are mean. but, you will be home schooled because we want you to thrive in all things life has to offer.  we want you to learn at a fast pace so there is enough time to learn about other things not offered at school.  we also want to be able to give you more options than the options that you may be given in a public school.

with that being said, your dad is going to teach you so much!  you will build everything and will probably carry a tape measure by the age of two.  he will teach you about hard work, being positive and also being completely selfless.  those are qualities that are hard to posses at the same time, but your dad, he has them.  he will also teach you about patience, having a good outlook on life and letting things go.  he isn't one to carry around the small things and i know he will pass this down to you.  your dad will also teach you about fun.  i'm sure you will be good at all things you do, but if you're anything like your dad, you will be exceptionally good at baseball/softball, darts, math and definitely dancing!

as for me, i am going to teach you to play the piano just about as soon as those little fingers start to wiggle.  i will also teach you about seeing the beauty in all things around you, good and bad.  i'm sure that you will quickly get used to always having the camera in your face and i'm hoping that one day you will want to pick up one of your own.  i will teach you to be creative and to use your heart in all things you do.  i will instill in you our values and morals and you will learn to say "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" to all of those you speak with.  i will teach you about politics (and i'm sure your dad will teach you his version when i'm not around),  kindness and about being open minded to ideas and views, as well as, the way other people live and love.  
our hope for you is that you will never stop wanting to grow and learn. 
we are patiently waiting for you to happen.
love,
your future parents
