H, today was a day for us.

You and me.

See, it all started this last Sunday.

We took you to Seminole to see the grandparents and your cousins.

Of course, we packed an overnight bag just in case you wanted to spend the night.

After a few hours of hard playing, you declared that you wanted to stay.

We were a little shocked, because this is the first time you have ever wanted to spend the night away from us.

There were those two days when we brought K home from the hospital. You went to stay in Seminole because you had strep-throat. Being sick around fresh babies is a big deal!

Anyway, your cousins were staying through Wednesday, but we called Monday at lunch to ask if you wanted to come home.

You wanted to stay.

We called Tuesday at lunch to ask if you wanted to come home.

And you wanted to stay.

So, I came Wednesday, just before lunch to get you. I took the whole day off, just because.

After four days, you were to happy to see me, but I think you would have stayed another week if everyone else had stayed too.

You and I drove back, ate lunch with mom, and then I took you to the movies.

We saw Cars 3, and shared a large popcorn and Coke.

You fell asleep about three-quarters of the way through the movie and I carried you to the car when it was over.

On the way home we stopped and got a snow-cone, took pictures of ourselves eating it, and sent the pictures to mom at work.

Finally, when our snow-cone was done, we went to school and got K.

We played with her in the floor of your room until mom got home from work.

I went and ate dinner with an old friend from high school, but when I got home you were in my bed asleep, your mouth slightly open as you breathed.

I could not love you more.

I love you.
