Dear Blake,
I finally got my dream of a Little Free Library! I ordered it and then we put in the pole and then attached the top. Then we had an opening celebration with ribbon cutting. Since I’m a teacher, I read a story to the kids and we had refreshments. I had book prizes and giveaways. Then you helped me cut the ribbon. People got to choose books! We had lots of neighbors and friends come to help open It! It was a great day!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
Dear Owen,
You have a new cousin Abby born in February. She got baptised on Sunday and Mama and Dada are her Godparents. You got to go and see her get baptised and have a party after. It was a great day for our family.

Mama
Dear Blake,
You guys had a great Easter! The day before Easter we went to Lincoln Way to the annual bunny breakfast and egg hunt that they have every year. We got to eat breakfast, see the Easter Bunny, and do egg hunts. Your favorite part was when you saw the Easter Bunny and afterward he gave you Mario Happy Meal toys which is something that you have been wanting.
On Easter we woke up and went downstairs and you guys found your eggs and your baskets from the Easter Bunny. You got a lot of monster trucks and different toys inside. Then we went to church with Papa and Gigi and then we went to T T and Uncle Colin’s house because they were hosting Easter. We ate lunch and then we got Easter baskets from Papa and Gigi! We had a great Easter.
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
We recently went to Monster Jam for the first time because you and Owen are very into monster trucks. When we got there we stopped at the little shop and got you a monster truck car. You wanted El Toro Loco. Then we went to our seats and we had to bring headphones to cover your ears because it was so loud. You wore them right away. It was so cool to see all the cars come out and do different types of competitions and earn points and at the end there was one big winner. We had so much fun!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
You had a great Christmas this year! You got everything you wanted! You were a little sick on Christmas Eve and Day…you had fevers and throwing up so you felt sick but you ended up having a great time! We had Papa and Gigi and Auntie Christine and Uncle Bryan and TT and Uncle Colin and Rory over on Christmas Eve. We had dinner and presents and played white elephant!
Before Christmas we took you to see Santa and you told him what you wanted. We got to do a lot of fun things!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
Recently you started liking school buses…maybe even more than you love garbage trucks! You love your bus and know the number. You notice all the buses driving by. I had never been able to see you get on the bus until the other day. I got to take you to the bus and see you get on. We even followed your bus haha. Then I picked you up from the bus too! It was so nice to watch that!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
Recently Dada and I went to your school to meet your teacher for you conference. It was our first parent teacher conference. Ms. Fyke said you were a very bright boy. You knew all the content on the report card. We are very proud of you! You are doing so well!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
This year guess what you were for Halloween? That’s right, a garbage truck! You wanted to be it again because you love them so much but I found a different costume online that was a garbage truck! You wore it all around the days before and to school for your Halloween party. You trick or treated all around our block and got lots of candy!
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
You are in the cub scouts called Lion Cubs and you just started going to meetings! So far we went to a rocket launch, haunted trails, and had a den meeting. I can’t wait to continue going to these things with you and watching you have fun.
Love,
Mama
Dear Blake,
You started playing basketball for the first time a few weeks ago. You play in the park district basketball class. I’m so glad you enjoy it! It
gives you something fun to do for exercise once a week. Maybe one day you’ll play on a team just like your Dada.
Love,
Mama
