dear pratt.

dear pratt,

tomorrow is your daddy's birthday. he will be 29. yes, he married an older woman. he likes to tell people that. all.the.time.

tonight cookie and my dad (still no name) came up for dinner. clint chose johnny carino's...but the wait was too long. so we went to panera bread instead. you flirted with a little girl who looked to be about 6 months old. she smiled at you...you smiled at her. you two went back and forth like this the entire time we were there. i already know that you're going to be a flirt. you can't help it. it's in your genes. your daddy's genes.

afterwards, your dad wanted cold stone creamery. let me tell you about this place. oh, man...where to begin?

it's ice cream. and anything you could possibly dream of...mixed into the ice cream. and when you walk in the door, the people scream, "welcome to cold stone!". i love it there. you will too someday.

you are now asleep in bed. the past two nights you have slept from 9 to 6 am. your dad told you before he put you to bed, "pratt, the only gift i want from you is another full nights sleep." we'll see if you give it to him.

below is a picture of you and your daddy that i took tonight. you love him. you laugh at him. you giggle. you melt his heart in the morning. and that is hard.hard. to do. he's not a morning person. but you might have converted him. we love to get you in our bed in the morning. that is by far, your favorite time of day.

sleep tight little monkey. and we'll see you in the morning. or before then...whatever you choose :)

we love you.

Hannah,
I love your blog! It never fails to make me smile! I hate to be the one to tell you this, but I think Pratt might get the "flirting" genes from your dad too! I was hoping to get to meet Pratt during the holidays, but it didn't work out! Take care and keep on loving that baby!

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
