The difference a year makes

It's amazing the difference a year makes. Last October you were a little chubby 8 month old when we took you tithe pumpkin patch. This year you're an active toddler. We took you to the same pumpkin patch as last year but you definitely enjoyed yourself more this time around. From looking and petting the goats, to jumping in the jumper, to picking out pumpkins. It was such a joy to see you enjoy yourself baby G. I'm trying to make great memories for you. I want you look back and see how much you're loved. I want you to have the best childhood I can possibly give you. I hope I'm doing a good job.

Dear Damian,

On Thursday (8/22) your mom asked my mom to meet her at the park. She said he wanted to talk. From my moms account he said that your mom was actually being nice. She was very different than the person we usually encounter. She told my mom that she didn't want you to not have a relationship with us or your dad. She agreed that she would let us see you.
