My sweet boy,

A new Taylor Swift album came out today, so I think you know that it was on repeat in our house today. I’m pretty sure I would have annoyed you with it, but you would have liked it. It’s a lot more upbeat than the last album, which is what I needed for my current life situation. Each album during my adult life has seemed to connect to memories that I have during that time. I’m hoping the time that connects with this album is something positive.

We’ve got a full weekend ahead. Elijah has a soccer game tomorrow, we are going to meet up with my friend, Jacki, at the park, and we have the haunted trail tomorrow night. I do not actually know what the “child friendly” haunted trail entails, but it’s something. Ellie will probably complain that it’s not even scary and your brothers will be scared and end up in my room tomorrow night. They were setting Kennywood up for Halloween the last time we were there, Lucas and Elijah were too afraid to walk past the props they had set up. It was daytime, nobody was in them, but they were still terrified.

On Sunday we are going to a ceremony with the organ donation organization here in Pennsylvania. Even though you donated in Hawaii, we got welcomed into the organization here. Of course, it was Aunt Sarah who made that whole connection, we can always count on her. I don’t know what to expect, but it’s something I’ve been looking forward to since they sent the information about it back in May.

I’m going to put the boys to bed now, because for whatever reason Elijah has been up since 5am. We love you so much, baby boy. I miss you more than anything in the world. Goodnight and sweet dreams.
