Dear Daddy and Jimmy,

Sunday, October 17, 2010
So Mom and baby sister Alice aren't all that bad.  I've actually had some fun here without you two believe it or not.
Last night I got to sleep in mom's bed, which was fun.  I cuddled her and amused her with my snores.  She said I was like a little bear cub.  Maybe I take after Great Grandpa Bear?
 This morning we woke up and I asked Mom "what we going to do today?"  Mom said it was Sunday and we were going to go to church.  At first I didn't want to go and didn't want to get dressed.  Then mom coaxed me into getting ready.  She got me all dressed up spiffy in shirt and tie and pants and socks.  Mom combed my hair and I told her "make it like a rock star", to which she replied "OK".  She told me she was going to hop in the shower and that we had to leave in 15 minutes.  So I had 15 minutes to put my church shoes on.  
Instead, I thought it would be funny to undress myself down to my underwear and upon her getting out of the shower, tell her that I changed my mind and didn't want to wear that outfit anymore.  She had to dress me again- I kind of argued with her about who was going to button up my buttons.  And then I looked in the mirror and saw that mom indeed did not make my hair look like a rock star, so I threw a little tantrum.  That'll learn her.

After pulling ourselves together, we hopped in the car, and scurried off to church (25 minutes late).  Church was cool.  I loved nursery.  Well I loved it until the very end, when I didn't get to finish drawing my picture.  That part I didn't love, and I cried.

When we got home, we ate leftovers for lunch, I played with Alice, and afterward we read a story about a groundhog, and then I took a nap.  Mom made some easy cinnamon rolls while I slept.  When I woke up, I drew pictures of satellites (complete with cameras on their wings).  Mom put the pictures inside of  thank you notes and we taped them to the cinnamon rolls, and piled in the car to make some special deliveries to my nursery teachers, sister "Bonnie", sister "bowish", and sister "earing-done".  I think they liked the treats.  I even got to doorbell ditch which was fun.
On our way home, we stopped at the sidewalk trail-the one that goes through the pretty forest, and took a family walk.  We even saw a real-live nutria!  Well Mommy saw it.  I couldn't see it.
We sure did miss you.  I really missed having Jimmy to throw rocks in the creek with me.  
And I missed Daddy to carry me when my knees got tired. 
 
Alice was kind of boring.  She just sat there in her car seat.  Sometimes she would laugh and giggle, but she mostly just looks around.  Sitting pretty I'd say.
I saw pink leaves, and green leaves and yellow leaves.  Some of the trees are already naked and have lost all their leaves!  
This must be fall.
Then we came home and had omelets for dinner.  It was yummy.  I really like eggs as you know and gobbled them up.

Then we played "on your mark set go" with the space ships and read the comics.  Then we called you on the phone.  I was full of giggles and wanted to talk gibberish with David.

After we hung up the phone I cried and wailed to Mommy "I want to go to Utah right now!"  I felt kind of left out of the fun you guys and David are having.  I wish I was there with you.

Jimmy, buddy I sure do love you.  Good luck tomorrow.  I can't wait until I'm big like you and I have my surgery.

Missing you like crazy, 
Johnny
