Dear Mom : Letters to an Angel: August 2013

Hello again Mommy. It of course has been a while. I was never good at keeping current. Your awesome grandson Parker is growing up more and more every day and it makes me so happy. Also scares me to death. haha. I would like to think that I was never this ornery but I'm sure if you were here you would inform me otherwise. Between dumping every powdery substance he can get his hands on into the floor (flour, parm cheese, chicken base, lots of herbs and spices, etc.) and annoying our pets, I just don't know what to do most days. Oh, and let's not even talk about the attitude and screaming fits and tantrums. However, I have learned you really just have to roll with it. What else can you do, except maybe screaming and pulling your hair out? I know if you were here that's what you would do. Seriously though, you could have given me a little heads up. haha. All is good in the land of Kirkpatrick right now. Michael is working hard. I am staying home with the little dude again after 4 months of working. We are trying to keep occupied while the weather is still nice. Winter in Nebraska is no joke either. We were able to spend a week in Atlanta while Mike was working. Even got to see Dot, Tabby and Marissa. Marissa is growing up so big. You wouldn't even believe it. Well, off to do some volunteer work in town. Here's some pictures. Love you mom. Miss you. xoxoxox
