This is a blog about creating our family. First Autumn, now Gavin. In some ways, it will also be about the world we've brought them into.

Dear Autumn (2011)
I'm not sure when you'll read this, but I've been thinking about it for a long time. I want to talk to the future you about the current you. I'm not writing this for any other reason than I can. These ones and zeros that make up the Internet will be here for a long time. You can delete this, read it. Save it.
Whatever you want.
So, here it goes.
Dear Autumn,
Right now, you are a kind, funny, caring girl. Your imagination inspires me, and you laugh warms me.
I can't remember a time without you, without your smile, your laugh, your wit (yes, wit), your sarcasm. It's all wrapped up into one little package that is too good for words.
I know, this isn't sounding like I want to to sound.
You're almost 5, and yet you're so much older. Here's an example: if I'm looking for a hug from Gavin, and he ignores me, you'll come over and give me a hug. You tell people things like:
"I like your shirt" and "I like your hair". In Florida, you told a waitress you liked her makeup. This isn't about the future, but now. Your mom and I think you're a wonderful girl, and we look forward to seeing you grow up.
I love you.
Dad.
