Work With You

H, you had an orthodontist appointment yesterday.

Coming out of it, I looked at my watch and noticed it was almost 4 PM.

When I suggested we blow of the rest of the day and head home, you insisted:

No, I want to go to work with you!

So we went.

While I worked, you watched movies on my phone.

You ate animal crackers, got a Sprite from the break room, and we even stopped by to see Leandra.

But when you got home you bragged about it all to K.

So today, K, I got you from school at 3:45 an took you to work with me too.

And we did all of the same things…

I think all the interest in my work was brought on by my short time left.

I have been at ARMtech/AgriSompo for nearly 8 years!

I can’t believe tomorrow is my last day – it’s surreal.

But I am so glad that I got to share a glimmer of it with you.

I love you.

Sounded Like A Meow

I farted yesterday.

It was kind of a funny squeak.

H, you heard it.

And when you did, you looked at me like I had said something profane.

You asked:

Was that a cat?

I said “No. Sorry I tooted.”

To which you said that it sounded like a “MEOW.”

Oh my goodness we both got to laughing so hard.

I just love laughing with you.

I love you.

You Made Three Points

H, you scored in your first points in a basketball game today!

You made one shot from the field and then got fouled and made one free throw later in the game for a total of three points!

Running an offense had proved difficult for a group of first-grade girls still learning to dribble…

You have to dribble, look up the court, pass the ball, have teammates that can get open, and finally be able to shoot the ball in the goal.

So I have been trying to work on defense with y’all:

  • Keep your arms up.
  • Stay between the girl you are guarding and the goal.
  • Move your legs.
  • And if your girl gets the ball – go take it away from her.

We lost the game 11-22 today, but y’all are playing better and better every week.

Did I forget to say here that I was the coach?

Hannah’s mom Leandra and I are coaching.

I love you.
