Dakota James=)

The 2nd greatest gift God gave me was Dakota James. He came into this world as kind of a suprise to many. But I can say no one will ever forget him. He is amazing. And he has the largest heart of anyone I know. I know that he loves the Lord. He is caring and giving. In fact at thanksgiving he cleaned out my panty so some kids at school whose familys couldnt afford thanksgivin dinner could have some. so sweet, even if it meant I was going back to the store=).  He can make you laugh for hours on end. He is not the biggest athelete, he can call or read any play.. but not the one to be out there playing. Guess his brother got all the athletic skills..hehe. He was not a big taker, in fact he didnt really speak till he was almost 3, come to find out it was because Ry didnt like to hear him cry so all Dakota had to do was point and Ry would give it to him... haha! Brotherly love! And although the do fight like teeneage boys, I know that they would give their lives for each other. Of course I guess Dakota is now making up for all the non talking early on cause he wont shut up!

Dakota and I have a weird connection. He can feel my emotions. It really is odd. He can sense when I am sad, happy, lonely..whatever. If I cry he is right there shedding tears with me. If I am happy he is right there laughing with me. I dont know what I would do with out my Dakota, at this point he is the glue in our family. I love him so much and I Know the Lord has great and awesome things planned for this young man.
