My dad... (draft)
Everyone knows my dad at a difference glance within the kaleidoscope. I hope to hear more of who my dads was here today.
For me, I don't remember much before I was 10. Just bits and pieces before he and my moms divorce. I think I blocked it all out considering the hurt at the time. The next 10 years I spent with my mom and step father. Summers I would come to visit. We always made the trip to Dland and my beloved In-N-Out Burger. He'd always complain I ate him out of house and home... duh I was a teenager. And Sash would always take me under her wing to hang out and just chill.
When my oldest was born I was so proud to introduce his first grandson. I took video of him and Christian in our living room practicing on how to crawl. I remember that feeling like it was yesterday!
(find this video/pics)
Again, 2 years later he was here to watch Maddy crawl for the first time.
(ditto)
The most common memory is the greeting at the airport.. and the saying goodbye at the airport. Which honestly makes me the most sad. I know you're supposed to be upbeat about someones life. But what about telling everyone you care about TODAY you matter to me all the time!!!

Feelings at Dads funeral. (draft still working on it)
I haven't posted since my dads death. I often do this on my blog... retreat, post then retreat again. It's my decision I don't have to write, no one expects me to. Yet.. it pulls me back. I feel a pull to write This pull doesn't connect me to others as I don't allow comments. It's more of a pull to write in a space that others and experience and feel what they feel. I often look back at old family videos and feel an intense love! But those same videos won't feel a inch of love from those who don't have connection to us. BECAUSE we're all becoming disconnected,, more so now then ever.

Emmalyn 3 months old! **UPDATED**
-Loves to stand on our laps and see the funny faces we make for her.
-She hasn't found her voice. However, opens her mouth like she has something big to say.
-Adores her big brothers and sister.
-Still wakes at night. A LOT!
-Taking over Aunt Sasha's nickname, "Pooter Magrooter." This girl toots up a storm!!!
-Loves taking long baths with Mom and Sam.
Now, she just needs to GROW!!! Two weeks ago 9lb 6oz. Her next, weigh-in is on Monday.
**UPDATE**
She hit 10lbs!! 10lbs 3oz to be exact! She's back on the growth chart. Her doctors have been encouraged since we started supplementing with hypo-allergenic formula. I love breastfeeding her, so I've been working harder at keeping dairy out of my diet. We're seeing a pediatric gastro doctor next week. But I think she's just allergic to certain proteins (definitely cow's milk protein) and will do fine if we keep it out of her diet... actually, my diet.
