You've been studying for school and
you've been working so hard on a deadline for work.
You stay up late, late nights and into the wee hours of the morning trying to get everything done. After all that you wake up early with the kids in the morning to get them ready for school before you head out to your class. If that isn't enough last night you came home and decided to make dinner! Thanks for your sacrifices and thank you for showing me how much you care. I appreciate you so much and just want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed.
Love,
Ali

Dear Ashlynne,
Yesterday when you came home from school you exclaimed,
"25 more days till the end of school!"
This year those words pack so much power.
This year those words don't just mean
25 days till the end of school,
this year those words mean
25 days till the end of ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
I can't believe my daughter is going to middle school next year!
It seems like I was just in middle school, I remember it so vivdly.
I'm gonna let the idea of you growing up soak in a little bit more.
Love,
Madre

Dear Brinton,
Yesterday when you came home from school you exclaimed,
"Wanna know what my math homework is tonight?" with a big grin on your face.
I'll admit I was very interested
because you usually try to hide your math homework,
not act excited over it. haha.
Then you told me,
"It's to get a good night's sleep for the assessment tomorrow."
No wonder you were so excited...you LOVE sleep.
Good Luck on the assessment! You're gonna do fantastic!
Love,
Mommy

Dear Elise,
We stayed up much to late last night practicing fish tail braids on your hair.
I love your long beautiful hair, thank you for letting me practice on you.
We had some great discussions. We talked about school. We talked about baptism. We talked about Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. I'm amazed by your knowledge and your testimony at such a young age. You teach me so much. I love being able to spend time alone with you, talking to you and laughing with you and getting to know you. You are such a special little girl. Wise beyond your years. I love you so much.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Julianna,
The other day after eating some angelfood cake with berries and whip cream for breakfast you said,
"Mommy, I know why people put strawberries and raspberries and blueberries on cake....It's because they want to pretend it's healthy, right? But then they put whip cream on it and who are they kidding?"
That made me laugh so hard!!
Love you,
Mommy

Dear Liam,
As I write this you are curled up on the couch sleeping. You've been feeling sick the last couple of days and all you want to do is snuggle with mommy. I'll admit I have a lot of things to do today but it can all wait until tomorrow because snuggling with you when you're sick is the best part of being a mom.....just as long as you don't puke, okay? If you absolutely have to just know I'll be here to clean you up. But please don't.
Love,
Mommy

Dear Aidan,
You can crawl! Hooray!
You figured it out and now nothing can stop you....
except for a wall, which you sometimes accidentally crawl into.
You've grown up so quick the last month,
next thing I know you'll probably be climbing stairs!!
Hold off on that one a little longer if you can though, k?
Love you,
Mama
