5 Years/6 Months: Father's [Great] Day

What an Amazing weekend!

I'm sitting in a law school school classroom about to hear a lecture on evidence law and can't help but take a quick few minutes to describe how I'm feeling...great.

For starters.  You all have a new cousin to play with in the near future, Amaya.  She was born last night and I don't know many details because we were all going to sleep when I found out so won't know more until I'm done with my class today and call  Titi Tatiana.

A very close second, for me at least, was getting to see you all on Father's Day, after my surprise trip to Hartford where I surprised your mother so much she screamed super loud, scaring Salma llama into crying.  Sunday was just simply wonderful.  I had a nice "brunch" at Chilli's with Lela Carmen, Papa Cesar, your mother and the two of you.  This might sound awful but thankfully Salma was sleeping that way your mother could eat in peace, since she never lets me hold Salma to eat before I do.  Then we went to get some frozen yogurt and cookies and to a park and a supermarket in our old stomping grounds (well not yours Salma) in West Hartford.  It was real nice just hanging out with you all.  Then your Tio Jon and Titi Lisa and cousins Jalil and Yasmin came over and we hung out with them and O acted crazy with his cousins.  About the only sad thing was the sadness of thinking about having to leave you at night.  Thankfully I couldn't catch my bus because everyone in Boston must have fathers living in Connecticut so the bus was full.

So you all came home with me!  I had some great conversation with your mother on the way home.  She is such an amazing woman, and great partner, and hope you all will respect and appreciate her when you get older.  Then we went to the supermarket to get me some food for the week.  Have I ever told you how much I like going food shopping?  Since I was little I've always liked it, don't know why.  Then we came home and although O was still flying high bouncing off the walls, it was nice sleeping with you all.  O even had a moment when he asked me to cuddle him, followed a few seconds later by "can you stop cuddling me?"

Love you all so much, am hoping to push through and study like crazy this week, that way I can go back to Hartford to celebrate your mother's birthday.  Thank you both for a wonderful and memorable father's day.

Love,

Pa
