Dear Eli Carter, This is your Aunt Caitlin (I'll let you call me Aunt Caitie if you'd like)... I just wanted to say how amazing and how much joy you've brought already. And I haven't even had the chance to meet you yet. I knew this would be the hardest part of me moving. I missed your big day and seeing my sister (your mommy). And of course it's hard to know I have to wait over a month still before I get to meet you and there will be so many more people who get to meet you before me:-( But I have sent you one of the best books in the world and your mommy has promised to read it to you often! You'll definitely know who I am. From 600 miles away you have my heart just like your cousin Dakota had on his birthday 13 years ago. And from the pictures and stories, you've snagged his heart as he has been looking forward to this day and being a cousin almost since the day he was born. Enjoy your time with him. He's a pretty special (not so little anymore) guy that can teach you a lot. You'll be just as special as he is in all of our eyes. Aunt Roo says your amazing and perfect and I'll fall in love with you the minute I lay eyes on you. And I don't doubt it for a second. So please just don't grow too much over the next month, make sure mommy shows you pictures of me, make sure mommy takes LOTS of pictures so I can see you as you grow, and I'll try to call more often than I have so you can hear my voice and I can hear your sweet little voice. Enjoy all the visitors and friends and family. Get used to all the people... We have a big family but you'll learn to love it just like we all have. There will never be a dull moment, nor a moment when someone will not be there for you for anything you need. And even this far away, I'm always just a phone call away as you grow up. So all my love to you and your mommy and daddy. Have a safe trip home tomorrow and enjoy it. You'll love your room and all the things they have for you. I'll see you in 1 month and 2 days and trust me... when I'm in town... no one but mommy or daddy gets you:-) You'll be spending as much time with your Aunt Caitie as we can get!!! All my love to you little peanut. And you'll always be Eli Carter because I love the names together.
