Once Upon A Time

There lived best friends who fell in love and got married. After about a year of marriage, they decided they wanted to have a baby. They prayed and hoped for a sweet baby to love. Before long, they found out they were pregnant with not just one baby… but two! Their hearts were filled with great joy that they were to receive a double blessing! The pregnancy went along wonderfully, for a while at least. There came about some complications, which caused a very premature delivery of the sweet twins. Ready or not! They came! Their names were Emery Brooke and Elijah Blake. Emery means, strong and powerful. Elijah means, the Lord is my God.

They were a beautiful girl and a handsome boy, but they were very tiny and their mommy and daddy were very scared because they were so very early. Their family and friends gathered around them and lots of prayers went up. God smiled down on the two precious babies and helped them grow. They had to stay in the hospital for about three months, until they were big and strong enough to go home. There were good days and rough days, but God took extra special care of them and healed them right up. They were able to go home with their mommy and daddy on the same day! The Freemans were a very happy little family whose home was filled with laughter and joy and they never expected what was about to happen next.

Just a few months down the road came an unexpected blessing. There was another baby on the way!  They could hardly believe it! They were very excited, but a little anxious because they didn’t want their new baby to have to go through an early delivery and hospital stay like Emery and Elijah did. So, they prayed and put their baby to be in God’s hands for safe keeping. God honored their prayers and blessed the pregnancy from beginning to end. There weren’t any complications to speak of. When Emery and Elijah were seventeen months old, their new baby brother was born! His name was Brody Jeremiah, which means, little brother sent from God. He was so wonderful and the Freemans knew that their family was complete.

The three little Freemans are best friends growing up together in a family filled with love. They know that come what may, they always have each other and most important of all, that God loves them and will take care of them. They are currently living happily ever after…

They call me Itty Bitty, because that’s what I am. I am the big sister, even though I am smaller than both of my brothers. I’m one minute older than my twin brother, Elijah, and seventeen months older than Brody. I’m a super cool chick who looooves to read. Reading is definitely my favorite hobby. I especially love my Dora the Explorer books because they have such bright and pretty pictures. I’m addicted to my zabba, it is my most prized possession. I’m definitely an introvert, but I do like to get silly sometimes, too. I love to dance and sing songs with my Mama. Oh yeah, I love chocolate milk too!

I usually go by Jah, because I’m cool like that. I’m the kid in the middle, because I’m the second born twin. I’m quite the comedian and will do just about anything for a laugh. I get that from my dad. I like to have fun and I like to explore, which sometimes gets me into trouble. I guess I’m a little mischievous. I’m definitely a daddy’s boy. When I go to sleep, I need to have both of my zabbas, not just one. I love animals, especially dogs and pickles (penguins). I also really love cars and choo-choos and playing the guitar like Daddy. Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear and Woody are my favorite toys.

I’m Brody the dinosaur, and I’m the baby brother. They call me the dinosaur because I’ve always had a voracious appetite. I’m a dare devil, who enjoys spending as much time as I can hanging upside down. I guess you could say I’m into extreme sports. I may be a rough and tumble guy who likes to wrestle, but I am also super sweet and cuddly and completely a Mama’s boy. I stick close to her most of the time. My favorite movie is, Finding Nemo. My favorite things are my big blue zabba and my friend, Bitey the shark.
