Me

Dear Mason, 

The other night you pointed to the ultrasound of our precious angel baby that hangs on the wall in our room. We have never talked about that ultrasound, that I recall anyway, and you said "baby". You ran to me and pulled up my shirt and said "baby". Your dad and I could barely hold back tears. You are the brother to an angel baby and soon to be a brother to a sweet baby on earth. And let me just say, you are awesome at it already! We love you!

Love,

Mom

Dear People,

Stop reposting the articles about the #RedCup. I haven't actually seen or heard from one person who was offended by the cup. Also, it's been shared 1,000,000 times so I believe that's sufficient.

That is all.

Dear Mason, 

We have only read the book, Do You Have a Hat, about six times and since the first time, you always answer, "No!", every time the question is asked. The other night I heard you in your bed saying "Hat? NO! Hat? No!" Love it. 

Love,
