Week at a Glance

Hi kids,
Daddy here. We had a busy week this week. I didn't get a chance to post all week. So I'll start at the beginning:

Monday- I had a great weekend with you guys at Abby's 1st birthday party. They boys & I had big fun jumping on the trampoline and Izzy played so good with baby Abby.  You guys are getting so big. I just love watching you play with your friends, even when you think we're not watching, we usually are.

Tuesday- Jakie didn't feel good, so I took the day off work and stayed home with him. I probably should not have let him watch Aladdin 6 times & play Star Wars, but what the heck.

Wednesday- The Steve-man scammed another day of calling in sick outta me but today I made him rest and get better.

Thursday- I had a remote and got off work late tonight, so Papa stayed with you guys. When it was time to go to bed, Alex did not have all his math homework done yet. I yelled at Alex very loud and said some things I didn't mean. I'm sorry Alex. I wish I could take back the anger with which I said those words. I meant what I said, but you did not deserve to have me yell at you.

Friday- Ahhh, at long last, Friday is here. Alex spent the night at Luis' house and stayed up till 5am playing Halo. After we put Jake and Iz to bed, Mama and me watched TV till she fell asleep on me. One day, I hope you guys have a chance to have the woman of your dreams fall asleep on you. It is truly one of the most comforting things there are.

Saturday- Mama & Iz went to the breakfast at St Joe's and Jake and I had a few hours to ourselves. I had such a blast hanging out with you Jacob. I don't get nearly the time alone with any of you that I would like, but the alone time I got with Jake today was fantastic. We went to Kids Kingdom and played tag and hide & seek.  I love you so much Jacob, thank you for being such a good playmate. Just remember, "Kids are always faster!" is a scam, haha.  We went to 5:30 mass tonight. Jake & I thought Alex was going to fall asleep, but he stayed awake!  I read second, which I prefer & after church, Father George blessed Izzy's Cinderella baby. Izzy said of him afterward, "That guy is funny."

Sunday - Busy day today, what with Jake's rock-fish project and Alex's state report coming due next week. You guys did great work for a long time today. I really try to tell you when you guys do so good, so I hope you know how proud I am of you.  We went to ShopKo and Alex got a Lex Luthor Lego set (which is awesome) and Izzy got a Aurora bath doll. After we put you guys in bed and Mama & I watched an episode of Castle, we peeked in on Iz and not only was she still awake, but she had gotten out of bed and changed her clothes and gotten back in! What the heck, da stinky?! Anyway, that was our week, I cant wait to see what kind of adventures we have this week. I love you guys.

Kickoff!

Hi kids,
Daddy here. Today is January 18th, 2012. I saw an ad on TV a few months back where this guy created a blog to chronicle the life of his little girl, and thought it was a great idea. I'll be updating this blog from time to time with funny stories and pics and what not, but mostly I just wanted to create it to let you guys know how much I love you and how much I enjoy spending time with you.

Izzy, this morning when I dropped you off at Rachel's you held my hand. Not like a little baby holds one finger, you put your little hand in mine. I wish I could walk that walk with you every day for the rest of my life. For a fleeting moment, I felt like no wrong could happen in the world as long as you and I were holding hands and facing it together.

I know you guys are growing up fast and want to grow up even faster. Just know that (even though it seems like it's flying by to me) I truly cherish and will always hold on to little moments like that.  I love you guys.

Daddy
