Please don't kill me for not writing for awhile. I have been keeping Daddy and I very busy the last few weeks. Lots of family time, spring cleaning early, planning Mommy's trip, time with friends, and just focusing on keeping us happy. I know that is the way that you would have wanted it. You want Daddy and I keeping busy and happy so we have been doing that. We have had your cousins over a lot over the last few weeks. Mommy and Daddy enjoy spending time with the 3 of them on our own because it gives us the family aspect that we want so very much.
Can I tell you the funniest thing that happened when we were hanging out with Violet, Vince, and Casey? I know I told you about this but I wanted to share it here with you. We watched them for a sleepover so Brian and Mo could have a night out with no kids to worry about. Mom and Dad's goal was to keep those kids so active they would just crash. First we went to McDonalds for dinner and Vi and Vince played in the play area while Mom and Dad hung out and loved Casey. We left and on the way out, Vi says thank you for dinner and taking them to McDonalds. Next stop was Dave and Busters for more fun. Casey rode around in the stroller while Vi and Vince played games. After a few hours we left. As we were pulling out of the parking lot of D&B's, Casey starts yelling "thank you". That little guy, 1.5 years old was the first one to say thank you! I could already picture the conversation Aunt Mo and Uncle Brian had with them on the way over. Uncle Brian said "you all are to say thank you for everything, have manners, listen to Aunt Katy and Uncle Frank, and say thank you at all times". Casey heard that one loud and clear! It made Mommy and Daddy laugh so hard! I had to share that moment with you! Casey sleeps like an kind in your crib and he says thank you for sharing!
You are 6 months now! Happy half year pal! We love you so very much. We are thinking about you all of the time. Do you hear us praying to you each night? "The father, the son, and the holy ghost"! My night is not complete until I get to pray to you. If you were here, you know we would be saying prayers before story time here at our house. Mom and Dad are already planning your 1st birthday party. We are going to come to you and have a celebration! We will get you the best smash cake that money can buy!
Do you like your new toys? We left our class that we go to every Saturday and drove immediately to go shopping for you. We hit the jackpot! We spent so much money on you that day going overboard with the coolest things for you. You are spinning away there and you have the best little spot. We love to go and visit you every Sunday there at the cemetery. Nona and Papa came to visit today and they loved your spot and left you some toys too! You and your friends enjoy those gifts up there, ok? Nana and Tata go and visit you quite a bit too. You have a teddy bear and some winter toys out there from them.
Our Saturday class is going really well. It may have been the best thing that has helped me through this process. Talking to other Mom's and Dad's who have a child in heaven instead of in their arms has been a wonderful support system. We have made friends with lots of other people and we will be keeping in touch with this group of 10 people for sure. I will need to update you on all of these angel babies so you can make friends with them and watch out for each other up in the best place on earth. There is a new little girl that was brought up to heaven the other day. Her name is Hannah. I know you probably already met her and she has become one of your friends. She is a beautiful little girl!
I have some pictures to upload here. If I don't get to it tonight, I will make sure to put them up in the next few days. I have a chalk board that is the best photo prop E.V.E.R.!
We hope that sooner then the later we will have news that you are going to be a big brother. Nobody will ever be able to replace you but you would make the cutest and best big brother out there. I can't wait to share the big news with you because the moment that we find out that the Cirillo family will be growing, we will be on our way to see you and tell you the big news before we tell another person. Mom had some health things going on but things are starting to get cleared up now so time to get on the good foot as Dad says! You will always be our first baby and I honor you so many times every day. Who is going to be the best big brother out there- Frank P Cirillo IV!
Love you to the moon and back buddy! Here is the picture that I made for your 6 month birthday. Love you so much!
