Dear Jamie,
I am entering a new and exciting stage in my life. I am less than 2 months away from being be a Dad! It’s so crazy, I still can’t believe it. We are having a boy and we decided on the name Aiden Christopher. I know you would love the Irish name and that Christopher is a nod to Gramps. It makes me so sad though that I never will get to share this or other good news with you. You were my favorite person in the world to tell good news to. Your reactions were always so genuine and full of love, and you always made sure that I knew it. I can’t wait for my son to meet your kids. J you would be so proud of all of them. They are the most amazing kids I have ever met, and I am not just saying that because I am your brother. They are each so unique and adorable in their own way, but they also all share the qualities that you loved in people. They are kind, adventurous, loving, smart kids and just like us they love to dance.
You would be so proud of your husband too. He is truly one of my favorite people in the world. He has been such an amazing father to your children. He is so good with these kids and they in turn love him so much. Along with Dad, he has given me another true role model to look up to as I start my own journey as a father. I am so grateful that you chose such a wonderful person to be your partner. You know I always wanted a brother and you couldn’t have picked out a better one. Continue Reading →
John, Larkin, and Reagan grew by leaps and bounds during the month of April. More specific details to follow, but in summary, Reagan had her Christening and has started crawling and standing up on furniture; John and Larkin are beginning to speak in complete sentences and both are showing much more interest in using the potty (especially Larkin).
Reagan Roo is totally on the move. She started off a bit slow, but after a couple of days was going after the dog bowl (yes, her favorite item to find and get totally wet), standing up on furniture (often falling over), and trying to steal John’s yellow truck (typically doesn’t end well). Reagan is the 3rd child, just like her father and Aunt Ki, so we have a strong feeling that this trend of her trying to keep up with her brother and sister is one that will stick around a lifetime. Reagan is trying her best to move on from baby food as well. It didn’t take us long for us to figure out when she was “over” basic baby food because she would zerbert (spit it out) each time you gave her food, which didn’t work out too well for our faces or clothing. Grandpa (Dan) must have gone through a dozen shirts before figuring out how to get out of the way. The zerberting might not of lasted as long, but with John and Larkin in the audience laughing hysterically, she was not about to stop. Continue Reading →
