Good Morning Charlie!
I hope you had a fantastic night last night, and am so, so glad that you got Alexi! He’s absolutely adorable, and really, really seems to love the heck out of you already. I was a little worried that with the rule about him not being able to go back and forth with you, that you wouldn’t want to come back to my place. It felt a little like Mom wanted to give you the one thing that I couldn’t, and it makes me sad that I know you’ll miss him while you’re here. I just want you to be happy. <3
I’ll talk to Uncle Derek and Aunt Dani today, if I can get ahold of them, and explore the possibilities of going to CA for Thanksgiving. If we can somehow make it happen, it’s going to end up a bit of a whirlwind trip, and it’ll feel like it’s happening really, really fast, so we’ll have to plan it out really carefully. We’d have to talk to Christy, and see if we wanted to stop there on the way down, or the way back, and make a list of all the people in CA we wanted to stop and see. We could even stop for coffee to see Jen and Troy, if y’all wanted to.
We’ll also need to start getting a plan together for Christmas, by looking at dates, and seeing what fits where. You all seem to have quite a few days off for the holidays, and I think I’ll have you for New Year’s, so, we’ll need to plan that, too. We need to discuss gifts, as well, as Christmas might be a little light this year on some fronts. Since y’all won’t actually be here Christmas morning, we’ll need to discuss whether or not to get a real tree, or use the fake tree one last year.
I hope that you have a fantastic day at school today. I’ll be around if you need anything, or want to chat. I love and miss you millions and billions.
Love,
-Dad
