These next couple of posts are introducing Adalynn to her big brothers... She is so fortunate, I feel, to have this great entourage anxiously awaiting her arrival!
Precious Adalynn, I can't wait for you to meet your oldest brother, Crist. We named him after your daddy's late brother, Chris. The name "Christ" has been around the Olsen family for a long time... lots of family called your Uncle Chris, "Christ," because there were older relatives with that same name. Your daddy was very much led to call him Crist in honor of his family heritage as well as his brother, whom he looked up to and loved very much. We did take the "h" out because of the reason that people might pronounce it like Jesus Christ. Crist's middle name is Thomas, just like Daddy.
Crist is one great kid... he has a big heart for his entire family, loves life in general, has a very glass-half-full type of personality and is a magnet for young children. He absolutely LOVES being around younger kids and has unbelievable patience for them! In fact, when I'm at the ball fields or gyms, I constantly have young children come up to me and ask, "Where's Crist? I want to play with him!" He also has a love for basketball, just like his namesakes. "CristO" is a godly young man who loves the Lord too... I know he will be a great mentor and example for you!
Crist cannot wait to meet you... in fact, he was the first one to feel you kick while you were in my belly! His smile just lit up the room. He thinks that you might have blond curly hair...we'll see! I have a feeling that you will be a big cheerleader for your brother, and I can guarantee that Crist will be a HUGE fan of you...he already is! He prays for you every day... We are all anxiously awaiting your arrival, sweet Adalynn!
These pictures are from when Crist went to Washington DC and Maryland with Memaw and Grandpa. He had such a great time... and he got to meet his favorite historical figure in person (Abe Lincoln)!
