Friday Letters


these boys look like trouble when they are together

Dear Children,you are having so much fun with your cousins you asked me to leave you here for a week. Dear Luke, I'm so happy we got to be here for your baptism. I said you are as fresh as a new born baby! Dear Family, I have been enjoying my time with you. I can't decide what day to leave. Dear Dad, I could not have been more blessed than to have you as a father. As a kid I remember being so proud that you were MY Dad. I still feel that way. I love you! Dear Home, will you ever feel like mine? I look around and I see bins of our stuff but nothing  really of our home. I'm not sure if I should change things or not. Weird. Dear Pool, it can actually be fun when your kids are a little older. And it helped to have an extra set of eyes from my Mr. who let my play with B's baby half the time. Ha I just realized it's nice to not be panicking but I went straight for the babies who can't swim anyway. Dear Headache, !!!! Seriously!!! Enough Already! Dear New Toilet, Yeah you heard me! I said new toilet. One that isn't leaking all over the bathroom. You are so awesome. And I can't wait for the kids bathroom to have a new toilet that actually flushes and doesn't overflow every week. #nightmare #gross. I totally made that up haha I don't know how to tag/tweet/instagram? I don't even know what those really mean. I'm awesome by the way. Dear Summer, I still love you. All my little chicks at home where they should be. Dear Kade, you had so much fun at Scout day camp. Grandpa Clark called to tell me that you got the highest score in your age group and the second highest of the day for the shooting accuracy with a bb gun. I liked that he called to tell me that. That's good cause you told me that when you did archery, your first time, you shot the wall. haha. Dear Big O Tires, sitting in the waiting area with a 9 yr old boy for hours watching sports center was only fun for about...2min. tops. The new tires though are worth it. #nomoreflats. Haha...ok enough of that. Dear Will, I miss your Face! I'm meant to be by your side I believe. I'm pretty sure I miss you more than you miss the five of us. Here's a conversation I overheard some of the kids having "so is Will nice".."yeah he is so nice he never yells".."what! really?".."yeah imagine a dad that never yells at you".."oh man that would be so nice that would be like paradise". Thank You for helping me raise my children. It is not for the faint of heart. You are a wonderful father. Dear Self, some days are really hard. But I am grateful every day for all that I am blessed with. Which makes me feel guilty for having such hard days sometimes.
