I Am Tired

It’s late and I am tired.

Everyone is asleep and the house is quiet.

Huck is snoring.

And I am tired.

I could stay up later but I’m the opposite of wired.

I’ll go to bed now but I wanted to write you.

Before the evening conspired.

See, it’s late. And I’m tired.

I love you.

Our New Floors

We got new floors this last week!

Carpet in the bedroom – gone.

Tile in the foyer, kitchen, and bathrooms – gone.

Laminate everywhere else – gone too.

We got a brownish-gray vinyl end-to-end in the entire house.

Our house is in such disarray.

H and K, y’all even went to Pop and Gammies house for the weekend so mom I could clean and begin to put things back together.

We worked a little but mostly loved on T and watched movies like we rarely get to do.

it’s just a house, but big changes also point towards the future.

I just know our future is going to be beautiful, no matter the ups and downs.

And I am so glad I get to be your dad.

I love you.

Reese’s Pieces, Daily

Ok, I love Reese’s Pieces.

I mean, going to the movies as a youth, they were my go-to snack along with a Coke.

Peanut/Tree-nut allergies and all, we have been giving you, T, one or two Reese’s Pieces every night while H and K do their OIT dose.

(K you are not allergic to peanuts but have an aversion because of watching H up close for so long.)

Anyway T – you love Reese’s Pieces.

When you see the bag and I begin to open it, you start kicking your legs and laughing.

Mom or I will bite a piece in half and share it with you.

Your fuzzy hair, crooked smile, and loving disposition is such a joy right now.

I love you.
