Your Mother is Rachel Ann Kanooth.  Your mother loves being a mom, and can't wait for you to enter our family.  Your mother was a special education teacher for 7 years.  Now she substitute teaches for the Clarkston School District.  Mom's favorite place to sub is in Micah and Savannah's classroom.  Your mother currently helps coach Special Olympics for track and field.  Her love is running.  In fact she is still running with you in the belly!!  She enjoys races and being outdoors.  Your mother is the music director in Primary and loves Primary songs.  She enjoys serving and socializing with others.  But most of all vales her children and being with them. 

 

Kaden in your brother in heaven.  I am sure you have already meet him.  He came to this earth, just to get a body.  Now he is a missionary in heaven and doing the Lord's work.  Kaden is our families guardian angel.  He comes to visit whenever we need him. We miss him.

 

Savannah is your older sister.  She will be turning 6 very soon, and is currently in kindergarten.  Savannah says she loves 3 R's.  They are reading, running, and rock-climbing.  Savannah is also very good at art, and loves the outdoors.  She is a big helper and a huge peacemaker.  Savannah does of great job of helping take car of baby Eli. I know she will love taking care of you too.

Micah is your oldest brother.  He too is almost 6 and in Kindergarten.  Micah is a little clown.  He likes to make others laugh.  In school he will do silly things, and enjoys telling jokes.  Micah also likes art, along with collecting odd things.  He has the best throw and wants to start baseball.  Micah loves the outdoors and fires.  He is constantly asking your father to build a fire in the backyard.   

 

Eli is your older brother.  You two are going to become great friends.  If I could describe Eli in a few words it would be; cars, trucks, trains, balls, tags and candy.  He LOVES things that go.  In fact that is really all he ever plays with.  He has a little taggie blanket, with trains on it, that he carries around everywhere he goes.  Eli knows how to get what he wants but is still the sweetest boy. He loves cuddling with his mommy and playing car games with his daddy.  And as of now, he has fire red hair.
