Dear Jeremiah,
Having you travel for work over the last 2 years was very, very difficult. I missed you like crazy and I felt so alone. Having you home on the weekends was not enough. Some how I learned to do it on my own, I got my own routine and figured out how to make it all work. Admittedly, now that you are no longer traveling for work I initially struggled having you home again. It was such a challenge for me to rescind some of my duties, to let you back in, to surrender all of my control and to be a partner again. Over the last couple of months as we've come together to help one another I've grown so much closer to you again and I appreciate all that you sacrificed for us the last 2 years. I love you. I'm glad to have you back home on a daily basis and as my eternal companion...there is nobody else I would want to spend eternity with.
Luv Ali
Dear Ashlynne,
On Sunday, I watched you plan and schedule a "Spring Break Camp" for your siblings. On Monday, you woke up bright and early. You made sure everyone was wearing a white top and blue jeans. You made breakfast and then began your camp. When it was time to go outside you got all the children in the neighborhood involved. You made crafts, played games, had snacks. You are so fun and creative!
Love,
Ma-ma-ma-madre
Dear Brinton,
You are become such a great artist! I'm increasingly amazed at the cartoons and pictures you draw. I'm always thinking that you traced them or something because they are *that* good, but I know you didn't. I'm really excited that you've found one of your many talents. Keep drawing!
Love,
Mommy
Dear Elise,
You are so sweet and intelligent. This week you got your first "B" on your report card and you were so upset over it. You set a goal that you would never, ever, ever get a B again. I truly hope you reach that goal my little cuppy cake, but remember that I will always, always, always, love you no matter what.
Love,
Mommy-la
Dear Julianna,
Last week I was gone every morning for several hours at a time. Grandpa came to visit so you were able to stay with him while I was gone. I know you enjoyed spending time with him, but I could see how heart broken you were every time I left. You are by far the most attached to me. I am so excited for you to begin school next year but I worry that you will have a really rough transition to being gone all day. Kindergarten Round-up is in a couple of weeks and somehow even though I've done it 3 times already with Ashy, Brinton, and Lisey, my heart is breaking at the thought of sending you to school. However, I know you'll do wonderfully and mommy will always be here for you at the end of the school day.
Love,
Your momma
Dear William,
You are named primarily after my brother William, as well as my uncle, and your dad's great grandpa. Being that there are so many Will's and Willy's in our family we decided that we would use the nickname Liam for you. A lot of people don't get that LIAM is the last 4 letters in William...I constantly have to explain it to them. We very rarely call you William, very, very rarely, so I didn't even know if you knew what your real name is. Last week we were at the doctors office and they called "WILLIAM" and you looked at me and said "Let's go, mommy! It's me" I was so suprised! You do know your name! :)
Love you,
Mommy
Aidan,
You've become so much more mobile over the last couple of weeks. It really helps mommy a lot because now I don't have to hold you near as much. You still have your moments but it's okay, I like being needed sometimes.
Lovey Love
Mama
