Today started as a usual Saturday, with Daddy off to work
before eight, and by the time Daddy got home the two of you were waiting for
our trip to Farmer’s Market. Mommy wanted to continue work on her projects to
complete the bedroom dressers for each of you, so off we went. Preparations
were underway downtown for the Taste of Kokomo festival later in the afternoon,
and workers were beginning to shut off some of the streets. We still made our
way to the market, and managed to get two sugar cookies and some biscuits and
gravyJ.
We enjoyed our mid-morning breakfast and then made our way to Foster Park. It
was much cooler than recent weather has allowed, what with our summer long
drought, and it almost seemed as though it was signaling a change in season.
Once at the park, the two of you proceeded to play on the
playground equipment as a gospel group performed on the stage. Daddy spent some
time talking with our friend and Mommy’s relative, Officer Kevin Summers. He
acknowledged that you are a spittin’ image of your Mommy, Jude. And he marveled
over how beautiful your curly auburn colored hair was in the sunlight, Emilia.
Daddy told him you are a Daddy’s boy and a Daddy’s girlJ.
After time at the park, we worked our carriage over to Grandma’s
for a short visit, and to deliver to her the banana bread present the two of
you picked out for her at the market. We stayed only long enough to give
Grandma her present and kisses and hugs, then we were off to get home in time
for you both to get a nap; you had already fallen asleep by the time we made
our return, Bodhi.
After naptime, Mommy finished her projects while Daddy made
dinner of orange chicken and rice and macaroni and cheese. We enjoyed a family
dinner and relaxed watching tv together, when we were treated by a surprise
visit from Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron. Both of you were especially excited
to see them and the two of you kept having Sister Kelly accompany you upstairs
and around the house so she could see what the two of you have been up to, and
so she could assist the two of you finding goodiesJ.
Both of you have your own adorable character traits already,
you love to dance and make the most sophisticated faces, young Ms. Bodhi. And
Buddha, you are always grabbing someone by the hand and directing them with the
words “come on,” and you love posing with yoga moves, and you constantly point
at things and inquire “eeese this?” You both are adorable beyond words, and
Mommy and Daddy are both constantly astounded by how remarkably precious and
incredibly, breathtakingly beautiful each of you are as persons. Wow. There are
no words.
By nightfall, once again Mommy kept going beyond one’s
imagination, while the three of us were ready to crash for a good night’s rest.
Tomorrow the two of you look forward to a visit with Mommy and Grandma to the
sea shore to go swimming, and Daddy continues to anguish over his work and
pending surgeryL.
Sweet dreams, baby boy and baby girl and Mommy (whenever it
is that you sleep). Love, love, love…
