Sleeping

Dear Mayzie,

When I opened the door and walked in the room you told me to be quiet and turn the light off because "all my kids are sleeping".

Wouldn't that be nice? If they all slept at the same time...all 15 of yours don't have a problem doing that.

Love,
Mommy

Love Note

Dear Theo,

Yep, it happened.  You wrote your first "love note".  You cut out a red heart and wrote:

To: Avery  From: Theo
I like you.  I want to play with you.
Love,
Theo

For starters, you can get by with this "wording" at age 6, you may need to talk to your father for future advice...at age 16, " I want to play with you" may not be so appropriate :)  

 

I'll post a photo below, but the pencil didn't show up too well on your red heart.  So, in the future you will have to forgive me if things don't work out with Avery, based on the fact that I will probably be keeping this note for your memory box.  I know you are looking for it, since I stole it out of your backpack.  I have seen you searching  for it a couple of times but you won't ask me if I have seen it because you are too embarrassed.  

In the meantime, just know, the only girl you need for now is me...and your sisters.

Love you Buddy-bear,

Mommy

I know I shouldn't pick favorites..

..but how can I not?  

Dear Liza Nell,

11 months!  How did this happen?  I love having you as my little hip pack.  Can I please just carry you around FOREVER?

SLOW down February!  I want my baby to last forever!  

PS.

Dear Body,

I know it has been 11 months, and typically the next member of the litter is on his/her way, but this time its not happening so please quit craving McDonald's egg and cheese biscuits...we are sitting this round out, deal???
