Father’s Day Weekend

 














Thank you so much for letting me be your dad! I’m so proud to have you as a son!

When I came home from work on Friday, you were sitting up on the floor with your back to me — something new you can do all by yourself—, and when you heard my voice, you scooted all the way around to look at me! Later that evening, I grabbed some animal crackers to share with you and sat on the floor with you. You made an expression that made me feel like the luckiest person alive; you were so excited that I came down to play with you! We shared animal crackers and hung out, and it was the best!

Your school says you grabbed a balance bar they have mounted on the wall and picked yourself up to a standing position. That’s a huge milestone! 

On Saturday, you joined me for my morning commute to George West, Texas. We ate breakfast at the hotel, and met up with your Grandma, Opa, and your Aunt Adela, and they took you on shopping adventures and to hang out at their house. You had so much fun!

This morning, Father’s Day, you and mom made me breakfast in bed, and got me some amazing presents. I’m so thankful for both of you!

You’re currently napping beside me and it’s the best feeling ever: knowing that you are happy to be around me. I adore you!

Thank you for allowing me to be your dad!

I love you always!

-Your Dad, Kerry

Drummer Boy

  You love music! You listen to records and dance, play drums, and scratch on a little portable turntable. You’re amazing! It so much fun watching you develop and grow. You are talking so much now! My favorite is when you say “wow”, it’s so cute! Recently, you went to your first Fiesta event, an Indian Festival at Hemisfair, and have hung out with your cousins in Austin. So much fun! You love playing outside, bouncing balls, going on walks, and playing in the mud. Spider-Man is your all time favorite, you call him dadoowah. We are so fortunate to have you as a son! I love you! -Your dad, Kerry

Snow Day!

You got to experience snow for the first time on January 21, 2025! You had the 20th off of school for MLK day and then they announced you would also have the 21st off due to the inclement weather. I took time off of work and we got to hang out. We were both not feeling great, with some flu like symptoms so I knew we couldn’t go out for too long but I didn’t want that snow to melt before you could check it out.  First of all, you hated bundling up. You didn’t understand why I was putting ANOTHER outfit on top of another on top of another. You were getting tired of all these clothes and then shoes to top it all off?? We almost had to abort mission just because of that. I just didn’t want you to get cold! You loved the crunchy feeling of the snow under your shoes and walked all around the front and back yards. You played with some snow that was on the chair but really once your hands got cold, you were done pretty quickly. We came inside, took all your extra layers off and watched a m...

Growth

 You keep growing and changing. It’s wonderful to watch. Likewise, the experience of raising you, and the subsequent balance between work, school, relationships, mental health, and parenting, is leading to personal growth for both your mom and myself. We don’t always get keep everything as properly balanced as we’d like it to be —though your mother is much better at it than she gives herself credit for—, but we are learning and trying. I wish I could spend all day getting into adventures with you.  I want you to have a happy, joyful life.  You are really talkative now, which is so fun. You are also mischievous and have a quirky, awesome sense of humor. You love your daycare, and your pets, and campfires, and snack time. You play drums to let out excess energy, and you love listening to music and dancing. You are curious, and sensitive, and daring, and friendly.  You are Brooklyn, and you are growing into exactly who you are supposed to become. You’re doing an awesome...
