Lessons for the future – We will never forget

Posted on September 11, 2010 10:35 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL & JSL,

Today is September 11th. This is just another day to both of you, but for people like Mommy and Daddy, it was a day that changed the world we grew up in. Something pretty bad happened on that day nine years ago. When you are older, you will learn more about the specifics. Today, we remember the heroes that saved countless lives, and those that sadly lost their lives.

Most important today is to be able to show the world that people of the United States will continue on with life. We do not live in fear and will celebrate how our country banded together to support one another nine years ago today. Daddy and I will continue to teach both of you about other cultures and how important it is to learn and respect everyone within the melting pot that is The United States of America.

Twin Towers

We will never forget, but we will continue on and the reason we do is to teach other children like you tolerance and unity.

Love,

Mommy

Getting ready for school x 2

Posted on September 4, 2010 10:40 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL & JSL,

It is hard to believe that September is here already. In just a few days, both of you will be going to school. NHL, you will be heading to second grade and are excited about seeing everyone that you know. JSL, you will be going a few days a week to nursery school. I think I am the one that is not ready to admit that my baby boy has grown up enough to go to school. Yes, I am in denial that my boys are quickly growing up before my eyes.

Of course, this should not shock me since both of you love to use the computer. Before I know it, both of you will probably turn the table and blog about me. Hmmmm….could be interesting I suppose. Still, could you please slow down a little and stay the way you are for a bit longer.

Love,

Mommy

Lunch at CiCi’s Pizza with Mom

Posted on August 28, 2010 8:22 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL and JSL,

I think the two of you have a new favorite restaurant that you both agree on. Recently, a CiCi’s Pizza opened up near us. We had heard about them from other people, but had never gone. I met the two of you and Daddy there the weekend I was busy working on some writing. NHL, you liked it so much that you asked to head back there a few days later on your actual 7th birthday. We obliged and did not have the best experience.

Friday, I wanted to do something a little special with the two of you. It was the last Friday of our summer vacation together. I had to get some shopping done for TJ’s birthday party today, so I asked if you wanted to go to an early lunch. I think I shocked both of you when I suggested going to CiCi’s. I have never seen the two of you go so quickly. We arrived there at about 11:15 and did really well.

It was not crowded, but I still wanted to sit close to the action. When we went up to get pizza, the first thing I noticed was none of your favorites were there. I quickly requested a Mac & Cheese pizza. We were able to find some pineapple pizza for NHL and a slice of Alfredo pizza for JSL to hold you both over. Finally, the Mac & Cheese pizza was ready and you were both SO happy.

It was a nice afternoon out with my boys. I can not wait to do more fun things in the week ahead before school starts back up.

Love,

Mommy

Following your big brother

Posted on August 21, 2010 9:34 am by TheAngelForever

Dear NHL & JSL,

Yesterday, we went to the park to let you run around for a little while. Bubbe and Grandpa are here for NHL’s 7th birthday party tomorrow. As I watched the two of you play, I noticed something, especially when looking at the photos.

JSL, you love to watch, follow and copy your big brother. NHL, you let your brother grab your hand, shadow you, and are extremely patient with his temper tantrums. No, neither of you are angels and certainly do fight when you are given the opportunity, but you are amazing brothers to each other.

I cherish these days and photo memories, hoping that we will be able to capture many more over the years to come.

Love,

Mommy

New word – Swag

Posted on August 14, 2010 6:37 pm by TheAngelForever

Dear JSL,

Last Sunday, Daddy and I came home from our weekend away in NYC at BlogHer. You had a fabulous time with Nana and Papa.You went to the local amusement park, a science museum and to see Toy Story 3 again. I actually think you thought twice about coming home. Then we opened up a bag with some new items in it. That was the moment that you learned a new word – SWAG.

Yes, at three you probably assume that is we go away Swag will follow us home. Thank goodness you were so amused with the fabulous Swiper shirt from the people at Nick Jr. that we hid some items away for another time.

Love,

Mommy
