Yesterday was a good day. It was also a busy day.

See, where going and doing recharges extroverts, it tends to wipe mom and I out for 24 hours.

We woke up early and went to a 9 AM birthday party at Blazing Bouncers.

It was a joint party for Gray and Caleb, two classmates from H’s time at Learning Tree.

We left there by 11:30 and drove straight to Caprock Cafe to eat lunch with the Daves.

After lunch we hung out of our house for a bit, and then went to Ninja Warrior and played for another hour.

We topped the day off by all stoping at Menchie’s on the way home.

The Daves left to eat dinner with friends by 7, and H, you were crying and so upset about the day coming to an end, mom let you go eat dinner with them at Chuy’s before they left.

K, you stayed home with mom and I and we ate dinner with you like you were an only child.

Honestly, I woke up this morning feeling like I had run a marathon.

I love you.

H, I am always trying to sell you on the benefits of wearing jeans.

In short: They are sturdy, comfortable, and they keep you warm.

Right? Right.

You rarely listen to this, wanting a dress, or tights, or both instead.

So all that to say, you went to school the other day and said the sweetest thing.

Your friend Hannah was wearing jeans with leopard spots on them.

Mom asked you if you wanted a pair of jeans like that, or maybe a pair like K has with unicorns on them.

You replied:

No, I just want them plain like Daddy’s.

My girl.

I love you.

-Dad
