Dear Daddy

I know we haven't talked much lately. I've missed you so much. Lucy was born 8 weeks ago and you would just love her. Can you see her? Can you hear the way she coos and cries? Can you smell her head? She smells so good. I wish you were here. So i would know that you are crazy about her. I mean i know that you are and that you see her but i wish i could see you enjoying her. She is really going to miss out not having you around. i miss you and so does mom. She wants Lucy to call her Mimi. I think it's great! I know it is what you called her while you were dating.

You know i am glad that mom is alone right now cause she gives me so much time and is able to be with Lucy more. So in that way i am sorta glad that you aren't here. You were so high maintenance, dad! But, mom loved it. A part of her died with you. So even tho i'm glad i get all the attention you used to get, i still wish you were here for her sake. She is a different person now. She's still so great and fun but with out you she's just not herself. I can't believe next month will be 3 yrs since you have been gone.

Lucy looks so much like you! She has your eyes! and some of your expressions. Worse of all she farts just like you! ha! wish you could be here to smell it, so you'd know what you put us thru when you ate fruit! you stinker! (literally)

So Will met a girl. I'm sure you know already. She is so great! You would just love her so so much. Mandy is the best thing that has ever happen to Will. I don't think i ever met anyone who loved him so much. You would just brag about her to everyone i'm sure. Maybe you already do in Heaven. I think if you were here i would be jealous of her cause you would like her so much. I might wonder if she would take my place. She would call you dad. She calls me sis, or hermana sometimes. I love it! They get married in March i can't believe it! One of the last things you kept talking about before you died was how you wanted Will to find a great girl. She was SOOO worth the wait!

Won't you stop by my dreams sometime. I miss you. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year was just not the same with out you. And don't think that cause you've been gone so long that we don't' care about you any more cause no one will ever take your place.

I know we haven't talked in a while, but i was looking at your great picture on my shelf today and thought i would write. Your picture is right next to one of the ducks you had in your office. You and mom look so happy in that picture altho she has that terrible blond hair. She cut it off and now it's darker she looks so sexy. I know you always wanted her hair longer but you would even like this cut. She's hot!

Give Jesus a hug for me. Your hugs were always so great. That's probably what i miss about you the most. Your hugs. & your hands. You had great hands. The day you left us, i held your hand for a long time and put it to my face while i cried that you had flown away. Thanks for loving us dad. I love you. I'll write again soon.

Your daughter (who is a mother now-!!)

Lucy Life Part 1

I made this video for our family for Christmas. It is 9:27min long and i wanted to share it with you. Enjoy!

He's dating a new woman!

First let me just say thanks so much for posting comments! That is way more than i thought were reading my blog. It's nice to know :) i really appreciate your participation in my experiment :)

Got my hair done on Thursday and decided to just chop it off. Brian had given me a coupon for christmas for a night out for dinner and a private concert. It was soo much fun. So we dropped Lucy off at her Mimi's house and went to Olive Garden. We had a delicious meal even had dessert and a cappuccino! We ran into some old friends there and chatted while they waited for a table. They were out for a much needed date night too.

Then we went to his "studio" His piano is in his office right now and he's been writing some new music. He played me every song he could remember. He has this bad habit of writing a song and then after a while he forgets it. I was helping him remember some of the lyrics. We've already talked about this. He is going to start writing them all down. I told him they might not mean much to him now (the ones he forgets) but when Lucy decides to make it as a Musician and finds all his old songs one day she'll make a "dad album" he'll be glad he kept them :) So he gets done with all the great ones, then he plays me this new song. OHMYGOSH!! it's soo amazing. The lyrics are so incredible! It's written from the perspective of someone who is struggling with believing God is close. There is this one line stuck in my head i can't get it out - You leave us down here on our own, You leave us down here on our own, You leave us down here on our own, don't You see the damage that we have caused....

So proud of you baby! i can't wait for you to get your stuff on an album! my ipod is waiting..

Then Saturday my Lucy who i've renamed Smiles Morykon on day's like this was just smiling so hard on her changing table i had to get some pictures. This is her and her new friend Leonardo the Lion. We call him Leo and he has a great latin accent (similar to Maria, she speaks english like a Chilean) He speaks spanish to her sometimes too, she just loves it.


She has been learning to really focus her eyes on things. I was trying to get her to look at the camera. She did great! love this face! Those CHEEKS-!!


Then we went to the Peaks View park - i can't believe what a beautiful day it was! IT IS JANUARY and it feels like spring! I was wearing my flip-flops. it's kinda freaky. Just makes me wonder what July is going to feel like. We'll be melting for sure. That Global Warming thing is totally true! Here we are hanging out with Papa. Brian's parents have been in town for a few weeks from France. It has been so nice hanging out with them. His mom was in Oklahoma visiting her family so we took dad on a picnic lunch. What a blast. I even had my ipod speakers out with us. It was so nice. Lucy wasn't digging the wind tho, as you can see.



It was a great weekend. Even tho Lucy's schedule was thrown off a bit, we suffered from that Saturday night. Mom and Lucy had a rough Sunday morning. I learned my lesson tho.

Sunday night we had a meeting with all the Bloom girls and planned what we wanted to do this year. We are so excited about it. We are planning a Craft Fair in April. More on that soon.

Oh and if you are interested in seeing what i was working on for Christmas take a look.
