Dear Jess

We miss you a lot already. Actually the kids haven't noticed it's not a normal workday, except that I've cried a bunch today. Ha. They're not worried about it. Cason goes "Daddy?" every once in a while, but he does that every day.

I took them to McDonalds for dinner, partly because I could not handle cooking today, and partly because they really wanted another dragon toy. Paige wanted Toothless, preferably WITH Hiccups. They don't make Hiccups though, just the dragons. But we scored and they both got Toothless. They're very happy about it, even though the lady forgot their barbecue sauce for their nuggets, and we're all out at home too. Since going home wouldn't end with us having barbecue sauce for the nuggets, and it also wouldn't end with you being there, we just hung out in the parking lot eating and talking about how we're sad you went to Chicago. Eventually they quit eating, so I had to remind them it would be fun to bring their dragons home to play with the old dragons. So now they're doing that, and finishing their nuggets and fries.

Cason already has a bruise on his forehead from his attack front flip that took him right over the side of the bed. He can't go a week without a new forehead bruise. He scares me.

I wish you'd just quit your job instead of leaving for 3 days, but whatever you think is best I guess. Haha. We miss you and love you.
Don't mind Caso's bruised head and runny nose. Just enjoy his forced "Cheese" smile.
Love,
Baber, Squaidz, and Caso

Thanks Angela. Luckily I haven't had to get used to it, because he usually travels close enough that we can go along too. I'm glad it's gotten easier for you!

I feel your pain. Cullen left around 3am this morning and we won't see him again until Wednesday. :( Hang in there!
