You Are Our World.












Every day has been a new adventure. 

You are so close to walking on your own! You love standing up and moving around. 

You clap and wave and blow raspberries and love high fives.

You like listening to music, and reading with mommy, and  napping in my arms.

You have a voracious appetite and love trying new foods.

Everyone loves the time they get up to spend with you.

Especially your mom and me.

We are trying so hard to not mess this up — I want you to have the best life possible, the life you deserve to have.

I want to be present in your life. I want that to be how you remember me when I’m gone, as the dad that was always there when you needed him.

Sometimes I feel like I miss the mark, but I will always try my best to be the husband and father my family deserves.

No matter where this life takes you, please always remember that your very existence fundamentally changed our entire lives for the better. 

You’ve given me purpose, and I’m so very grateful for you.

Please always try to remain this curious and humorous and adventurous. It’s amazing to watch you interact with the world.

You are destined for amazing things. 

You are our amazing destiny.

We love you so much!

-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...
