H and K, you and I went to church today without mom and T.

T had a little bit of fever – and mom had a touch of stomach bug.

Anyway, I wanted to take a second and point out the rides we take every week in the church golf carts.

We always park in the far back lot against the west fence.

It’s a good hundred yards or so back to the church, but I enjoy the walk.

With that size parking lot, the church provides a golf cart service to shuttle people from their cars up to the nearest doors.

So as we park, there are always half a dozen retirement age volunteers roaming the lot in golf carts, looking for arriving cars.

Let me tell you: You girls live for these morning golf cart rides.

So they come to get us and we all sit wherever we happen to jump on.

H you and I have taken to sitting on the backward-facing back bench the last few times.

But here is the thing.

K, you always sit in the front passenger seat beside the driver. Always.

And you always ask half a dozen questions in the brief time you are there.

It is so cute and so sweet.

Those old men with granddaughters of their own just love talking to you.

I hope you are blessing their day half as much as you bless mine.

I love you.

-Dad

K, you cracked me up tonight.

See, when we are at the Hyatt in San Antonio, smores are a big deal.

A very deal.

I mean, we stop swimming and show up every night to ask for marshmallows on a stick.

We crowd around fire pits with other families to toast them on the back lawn.

When finished we go back up to the table and they sandwich our fame burnt treats with a chocolate bar and graham crackers.

All that to say this.

We were about to watch tonight’s movie out on the lawn and we were walking along the path going to our room.

When, K, out of nowhere, you said:

Whoever invented s’mores was a good person.

Bahahahahaa. 🤣

I love you.

-Dad

Accommodative Esotropia is what the doctor said you have, K.

The short version of it is that your right eye involuntary crosses now and then.

(Your eyes are simply trying to focus.)

We first noticed it a month or two ago – so mom took you to the ophthalmologist and you got glasses a few weeks later.

I am glad to say that you have taken to wearing them like a duck to water!

Of course, you broke our little parent hearts when mom complimented you on how well you were doing with your new glasses.

You told mom:

I can’t really see good without them.

It makes me sad to think how long everything might have been blurry for you. 😢

And you are absolutely adorable and beautiful in your glasses!

I love you.

-Dad
