Double Trouble

Hey B,

It's has been a while since I have blogged but you have been on my mind a lot. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about my little buddy. I have talked with your daddy several times and he tells me that you have really began to say a lot of new words. Have you figured out any new names for daddy and mommy? You will probably soon but just be careful when you say them to their face!!! You'll hurt their feelings and get in trouble. I'm sure your daddy has some names for me that I've never heard, have you heard any of them?

I'll let you in on a little secret. Pops! is probably going to see you soon. You and pops! will probably see a lot of each other for about four days while daddy gets caught up on his thesis. The thesis is that thing he keeps doing on his computer every chance he gets.

Yesterday, I took Daisy out for a walk and she and I had a great time playing keep away with a stick and I thought about how much fun it would have been with my little buddy around more often. You need to talk daddy and mommy into moving back closer to pops! and Jadda. I miss you so much. I feel that I am getting behind in my grand parental rights to spoil my little buddy. We would both find ourselves in "time out" quite often. But with the fun we would have it would be worth it. They would call us "double trouble" for sure.

Gotta go but remember,

pops! loves you

Happy Birthday, Jadda

Hey B,

Today is a really important day. It is St. Patrick's Day but more importantly it is your Jadda's birthday. She is one of a kind and a very good one at that. She is really special to your pops! and she is going to be very special to my little buddy. Your Jadda thinks that you are a real special kid and you are. Just remember your Jadda on her birthday. Remind daddy to call Jadda. He's getting old you know, so he might forget.

I sure have missed you the last few days. Pops! got spoiled being with you for a week. I hope that soon we can be closer together. I miss being able to watch my little buddy grow up.

I guess old pops! will come see you sometimes after little Will is born. Are you ready for that big event? You'll be a great big brother. You can teach Will all our little secrets.

I know this is short but just remember...

Pops! loves you

Here's Daisy

Hey B,

Well, you finally got back to the left, uh I mean west coast. I got to see you when you were in Columbus but you didn't even know it, you were asleep the whole time I was there. But it was good to see your daddy and spend dome time with him. I am quite fond of him.

I also heard you on the phone when I spoke to daddy this evening. It sounds like you are getting the talking thing down pat. I heard you say your name and daddy's. I guess daddy better watch what he says or you'll be hearing, "Now I wonder where he heard THAT."

I sure hope that you enjoy the next few days with your Jadda. Daisy and I really miss her. But Daisy and I also are really looking forward to seeing her and Daisy can't wait to meet her big brother Zac. I've already told her all about Uncle Zac and she can't wait to meet him. I told her that he would be great to play with and that she'd learn to catch the frisbee with her new big brother. I include a picture of Daisy, my little girl.

"I know mom is here somewhere"


I sure miss you and can't wait to see you again. And remember...

Cherrios-They're better with water

Hey B,

It sure was great being with you last week. Pops! had a lot of other things that he had to do while he was out there last week but I sure enjoyed my time with you. You are quite the kid. Your daddy and mommy have every reason to be proud of my little buddy.

I really enjoyed the time that Uncle Zac and I spent with you at the Oakland Zoo. It was really amazing to see you and Uncle Zac together. I have (if daddy ever sends them) some great pictures of you riding on Uncle Zac's shoulders. I think we all had a great time. And I also enjoyed taking you to the indoor playground the next day. You went non-stop for over two hours and I loved every minute of it, even when your poured water into your Cherrios snack. I guess you were trying to break pops! in right.

I saw you yesterday. I visited with you and daddy at Oma's and OPa's house but you were asleep the WHOLE time. But that's ok because that gave me some time to visit with your daddy. I hope you have a grand time with Oma and OPa. Check with daddy and see how his golf game went yesterday. I hope he didn't kill anybody.

Just remember my little buddy...

pops! loves you
