II is a Saturday, and when I finally rolled out of bed at 8 AM, I came down to find you, your mom, and big sister Kirynie all up and on with your day.  As for being dressed, you were quite sparkly!

I don’t know what to tell yoy about the way you smiled for this photo!  But I will tell you that I love you with all of my heart!  You are such a wonderful part of our family, and my life!  

Today your mom has been sewing together bits and pieces and making curtains in the kitchen, and I have been helping her to put them up.  some of the windows get a bit draughty and need winter covering to help keep the house warm.  Otherwise we like to open things up and bring in the light for summer months.  somehow, I think that even if we blocked up the windows completely, the winter will still be bright and cheery with your special light in our home!  

Pretty soon you are going to be four years old!  You were born on Election Day, the day Barak Obama was elected to his second term as President.  The next cour or eight years of your life will be affected by the oucome of this election which falls two days after your birthday this year.  I bring it up because this has been the most insane election known to our country.  A lot is going on in the world now, and stability overall s beginning  to crumble a bit.  I hope the next four years will find you learning how to make a life and the skills you need to make it despite what goes on in the broader world.  You and your siter are two very special people, and I think life will have a lot in store for you!  I want you to know how to make it good, and how to keep happy.  

I love you sweet mush!  

Daddy
