Dear Marlie,
We had some fun this weekend! I picked you up from your babysitter on Friday and we immediately went and looked at some houses closer to you and your mommy. A couple of weeks ago your mother and I met with our friends and I am getting to see you so much more. I can't even tell you how happy that makes me. Anyway, with as much as we are getting to hang out now I just need to be closer to you so that all of our time isn't spent driving! So we went and looked at some houses and you got to meet my Realtor's daughter who said "Hello Mawie" because she was young and couldn't say your name.. You have been sick so you had a sad cough, but you were a trooper and we had a lot of fun and maybe even found a house!
You slept through the night, only waking up once for a brief moment. It is so awesome waking up knowing you are here. The moment I know you are awake I bring you to the bed so that I can hold you and play with you for a while before the day begins. I am certain that after not very long, I will wish that I still could do this. Your father never stays still. I like to be going all of the time and it is a fault of mine. I work hard and always have 1000 things going through my mind. But when you are around, nothing else matters. I want to soak in every moment we have together because although we will always be together, these baby moments are fleeting. And as quickly as you are growing, I want to hold on to this time we have together as much as I can. If I could, I would make time stand still.
Finally, I got your middle name tattooed on my forearm this weekend! :) But don't think for a second that I will allow you to do this to your body when you get older!
I'll see you tomorrow, mama. I love you from here to Pluto.
Love, Daddy
