H, we have taken to being artistic every now and then.
And I simply love it.
Last night after K was asleep – while we should have all been getting ready for bed – you, me, and mom got the paper and the markers out.
We drew for a good 30 minutes at the kitchen table.
As mom worked diligently making a girl in a dress, I drew a cross.
You watched me intently and started drawing too.
These are our crosses.
I love you.

K, my perfect little girl.
We gave you the word “dog” because of that phase that you went through saying dog over and over.
Well, now you get the word cracker too.
Enter, the cracker phase.
You ask for a Town House cracker no less than 10 times per day.
I mean, it is not uncommon on a Saturday for you to have eaten 7 crackers by the time we get ready to sit down for breakfast.
And half the time they are out – well, of course, everyone else wants a few crackers too.
You are so animated and sweet right now.
Leaning over to hug and kiss us, when you think the situation calls for it.
I love you forever.
You are even doing this thing – and I have no idea where you got it – where you chase us with your arms out behind you.
To do it, you bend over slightly at the waist and extend your arms straight out behind you.
So – yeah – we started doing it too and chasing you back.
You love it.
I love you.

H,
You are so sweet to K.
You have taken to singing her a lullaby when she gets mad.
Usually, it is when she is getting ready for bed.
Sometimes, it’s just when she is fussy in the car.
You sing a song from The Prince Of Egypt called:Â River Lullaby
It goes:
Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don’t cry
Sleep as you’re rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My last lullaby
So I’ll be with you when you dreamRiver, oh river
Flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere
He can be free
River, deliver him thereBrother, you’re safe now
And safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for you
Grow baby brother
Come back someday
Come and deliver us too
My beautiful girls.
I love you.
-Dad
