H,
Your heart is so sweet and soft right now.
We were saying prayers last night.
At the end, we were all goodnight to everyone.
“Goodnight Mommy.”
“Goodnight Daddy.”
“Goodnight K.”
“Goodnight Huck.”
At the end of it you said:
“Goodnight Sadie.”
“Goodnight Sadie far away in heaven with Jesus.”
I guess Sadie has been gone about two months now.
I love you.
–Dad
K,
Just a quick note to you on your mom’s birthday.
We are back in another week of work and school.
And I am still trying to get over my sinuses trying to kill me.
But let me just say this.
I can’t believe how happy you are.
Don’t get be wrong, you cry if you are hungry or uncomfortable, or at night you cry if you want to be held.
Other than that, if I talk to you, mom talks to you, or H talks to you, you just light up.
You smile.
You laugh.
You watch us with the anticipation of so much to come.
I love that you are such a happy child.
I love you.
-Dad
We tried to go to Dallas this weekend.
Just an excuse to get out of town, I think.
But the trip took a turn.
I had a tickle in my throat, but by the time we got there, I felt full-on sick.
Wicked sinus infection.
On top of that, we forgot that it is sometimes difficult to travel with babies.
K, hardly slept.
So we were in Dallas, Ft. Worth really, for less than 24 hours.
We packed up and just came home.
The bonus was we all got to spend that time in the car together.
And Sunday night after we got back, the entire family was in bed by 9.
I love you.
-Dad
