Hi sweetie,

Right now I’m laying down with Elijah so they can go to sleep. He yelled “fire in the hole” and then farted. There is also a large bowl in the corner of their room filled with water and water beads. It’s been sitting there for three days now. Originally, Lucas put them in a cup and they obviously overflowed onto the floor after a few hours in the water. Although you’re gone, times in our house still remain chaotic and ridiculous.

We are down to twenty-seven more days on the island, I think. I thought the movers were coming the 4th and 5th, but apparently I can’t keep dates straight because they’re coming to pack up the house the 6th and 7th.

I forgot to tell you, I talked to Miss Brittany yesterday for a little. She sent me some videos of you guys racing Mr. Fred down our street and ones of you guys dancing at the Fourth of July concert. Miss Brittany told me that it snowed down in Alabama the other day, but Emily didn’t want to go outside and build a snowman. She was upset because she missed you and you were the last person she built a snowman with. Maybe you could check-in on Emily in a dream and say “hi”? Hearing that made me cry, but in a good way. It is heart-wrenching hearing that Emily was crying and missing you, but also was more evidence to me how loved you were by so many. I bet you guys built a wonderful snowman. It was in Missouri, so who knows how much snow you guys built it in.

I got three frames and put three pieces of your art in them. I’m going to hang them in your room at the new house. I used the one with Mario and Bowser’s random guy in a robe, your painting of the octopus climbing out of the jar, and your tower of donuts. I also found a shadow frame at the thrift shop a few days ago and put a picture of you and your brothers in it. I also put in the Minecraft big head Lego characters you made for them. This is my way to have them out for the boys to see, but not get destroyed. Lucas had to remake the skeleton’s helmet because apparently you originally made him a helmet, but it went missing.

The Eagles made it to the Super Bowl again. You learned to love the Super Bowl simply because you got pizza. I don’t know if we will take the Super Bowl picture again like we did last year and in like 2018. My guess is that daddy won’t want it. Ellie made a comment about the picture on Sunday before the game.

I wish I could tell you all the things I miss about you, but the list is endless. Keep watch over us, baby. Try and visit Emily soon if you can. I love you so much, sweetie. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
