Letters of Gratitude


Dear Noah,
Thank you for making faces like in the picture above.  And for falling asleep in the car this afternoon and staying that way as I carried you up the stairs.  If you didn't do that every once in a while, I don't know if I would have survived this past week.  Your twos have been terrible the last few days.  I guess that cake for breakfast isn't a terrible remedy.
Love,
Your not-so-patient mother

Dear Virginia,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for having such lovely weather!  Considering the huge downpour of rain that lasted about a month that we came from, I really appreciate all of the sunshine.
Love,
The lady who needs to get out of the house

Dear Brett,
The flowers that you sent me for mother's day are beautiful.  Thank you for thinking of me even though you've been stuck in school this whole week and very busy.  Also, thank you for convincing me to bring so much kitchen stuff with us.  I love you.
Love,
Your wife

Dear Mom,
Thanks for coming to see us even though you've been busy and traveling.  It helped break up this week.  And helped me not go insane with Noah.
Love,
Your daughter

Dear Netflix,
Thank you for keeping me occupied and for being accessible on my kindle for when I have insomnia bouts.  Although I'd rather be sleeping at 3:00 am, watching Strictly Ballroom in my bed wasn't a horrible second option.
Love,
A tired pregnant lady

Noah is a stinker but so cute. I think God planned that on purpose, because if they weren't so cute it would be hard to love them sometimes. I swear that Ellie is starting the terrible twos already. This week she learned to throw things (mostly at me) and she has pretty good force and aim. I'm glad you made it there safely and that you like VA. Why didn't you bring all of your kitchen stuff? The master chef needs all of her utensils.

Their faces are hilarious! Pregnancy insomnia is the worst, hope you're getting some rest!
