Little Hall

Dear Niece or Nephew,

I cannot wait to meet you! You are so lucky to have parents like my brother and sister-in-law. They are amazing. Simply amazing.
Get ready, little one. You are being born into a crazy, huge, and awesome family. We already love you. We are already planning and praying for your arrival!
Before you get here, there are some things you need to know:

Uncle Jared may be tall and stuff... but he's a gentle giant. He'll teach you about basketball for sure... as will the rest of the Hall boys. He is going to spoil you rotten... just you wait. If you want candy, I would check his pockets first!

Aunt Erin is as sweet as can be! She'll definitely teach you some smokin' dance moves and be a big help when you learn your ABCs! I bet you'll learn some silly jokes from her too... she has some good ones!

Annie will also spoil you rotten. You'll learn some practical things from her too. She'll teach you about patience and sharing and all of that "important" stuff. You know, things that develop good character. It'll be great.

Grandpa Hall will also teach you about basketball... that's a given. And he will rock you to sleep while humming some sort of oldies song probably a million times. He won't talk baby talk to you, but he'll turn in to a big kid when you're around.

Mommy will probably be the sanity in your life... you know, teach you all of the important stuff and take care of you when you are sick. She'll be there for every kodak moment in your life. And she will cherish you with all of her heart. Mommy will do anything for you. You are one lucky kid.

Daddy is kind of the crazy one... not in a bad way, just in the "My dad's crazy" kind of way. He might insist on you calling him "Nate Dog" or "Natron" but don't do it. He secretly loves being called Daddy.... He, like your mommy, will teach you all of the important stuff too. Daddy is more of a "lead by example" kind of guy... so pay close attention. You wouldn't want to miss anything.

Aunt Sara will be the coolest of all! She will take you to the park, take you swimming, spoil you (not too rotten but enough to count), and love on you like there's no tomorrow. She'll teach you all the cool stuff like practical jokes to play on Daddy and Uncle Jared, how to drive with no hands, and stuff. And remember... Uncle Jared my have candy in his pocket, but when you want the long-lasting sweet flavor go see Aunt Sara... she has the chewing gum in her purse. :)

God will be your sustenance. He will be your everything. He will teach you more than any of us could ever teach you. We'll all show Him to you. That's a promise.

We may be a large and crazy family, but we are always bursting with love. You will never be without love.
I can't wait for you to get here! Get excited, Little Hall, you're in for a wild ride!
I love you already!

-Aunt Sara
