Happy Father's Day honey! I was reading Benji the book you sent him. I flipped right to the story and he protested, "daddy!" I turned back to the message you wrote him on the inside cover and read him his note from daddy. Then we could read the story.
Benji also remembers you in the pantry. When he wants cereal, he does the sign (or points to it), and clarifies "daddy." This means he wants daddy cereal, like Apple Jacks, and not nasty mommy cereal, like plain Cheerios.
I hope you liked the tie that Benji made for you.
And while Simon may not know you, he does have a dimple in his chin that reminds me of you every time I look at it.
You know that life insurance commercial that says, "life comes at your fast?" Today is the third anniversary of our first date! Three years ago today, I was nervously waiting for you to pick me up, thinking, "I can't believe I gave my address to some guy off the Internet! I never give my address out!" Good thing you turned out to be lovable, and not some weirdo stalker guy.
I love you sweetie!

At the museum
Susan came to visit, and we took the boys over to Thanksgiving Point to the dinosaur museum. Ben ran through the museum looking for the fish. We have got to get that boy excited about dinosaurs too. In this photo, he's holding a toy dinosaur from one of the play areas in the museum.
Maybe the dinosaurs are just too big for him to process. They have full-size replicas of brontosaurus skeletons. Susan was especially impressed at the giant turtle skeleton that was 116 feet from flipper tip to flipper tip. Notice the size of the foot we're standing by in this photo; it belongs to a brontosaurus.
Benji was not interested in holding still for photos. He ran laps around the exhibits, sure that if he just looked hard enough, he would find a fish. Simon was pretty mellow.
Just before the exit, there is an area where the kids can play "archaeologist" and discover dinosaur bones in the sand. Susan noticed that there wasn't a sign saying, "kids only" and happily joined Benji in the dirt.
