Love Letters

When Todd and I were dating and first married he would always leave me little notes around the house. I still have lots of them tucked away in my journal (you know the old paper one that I don't write in since this is my journal now). Yesterday he left for Washington DC in the afternoon. When I got home from work I had to go to the mall to pick something up and get take out for dinner then hung out with the kids and then way later that night finally went into my bedroom to fold a load of laundry and I saw this sweet note on my pillow. Yes it made me smile and cry and really miss Todd. But most of all it made me happy because as hard as it is with Todd traveling we have grown closer and we really do appreciate each other more because of it.


I thought he just left me a note until I put Sophie down for bed a little later. Then we went and found all the kids notes. We all read them together. The boys can read but they needed a little help with dad's handwriting :)



I couldn't find Claire's note so I asked her if she found a note on her pillow and she brought it to me all folded up. She had tucked it away in her purse. Classic Claire.


This one is the family favorite. We laughed and laughed and the boys read and re-read it over and over. Even this morning they were talking about Sophie's "poopy" note. This really does encompass most of her vocabulary though. (a few words she says that are missing: diaper, sucker, cookie, Tinkerbell and Dora)


We love you too and can't wait to see in 2 more days!
