January 4th, 2012

Dear Damen Robert,

Right now you are sitting next to me on the couch eating snacks and watching Diego. Who knew someone could make eating pretzels look so cute? Anyways, I wanted to tell you about yesterday.

We went to Grandma Janet's house so Daddy could help cut some tree branches. For the first bit of it, you were carrying around a wooden goose by it's neck and riding it every once in a while. Poor goose. Eventually you grew bored of the thing and ran back and forth around the huge yard. We smelled some roses (one smelled like fruit loops). Grandma, Shae, Lily, and Alicia showed up and you took off with the girls. Some time later I made a huge leaf pile for you and we took turns throwing them over each others heads. I wish I had a picture of how many leaves were in my hair. After a bit more, you ended up with clippers helping Alicia trim a plant down, always such a good helper.

I had so much fun with you yesterday, and now I have to go back to work. It rips my heart out leaving you knowing I won't see you until the next day. Three hours a day in the morning is not enough time with your smiling face. For now I know that it's necessary for us, but in the near future I hope both Daddy and I have a better job, with better schedules, so we can spend more time with you. You are what is important. Family is
what is important. Life is so unpredictable and short that this is where I need to be. You will be grown and having babies of your own before I know it.

I love you Damen,
Mommy
