happy father's day, Dada!

 

Dada,

For the second year in a row, we're not being with you on Father's Day. It goes without saying that we all miss you so much. So for you, a poem that Cade brought home yesterday (full of references that he has no idea what they mean):

You're the peanut to my butter
the star to my burst
the pop to my tart
the fruit to my loop
But most
importantly,
You're the
BEST to my FRIEND!
Happy Father's Day!

We love you more than any poem could ever express, and certainly more than one blog post could say. We love you more than the loops in the fruit.

Day 5 of Jon gone to SUNDANCE. So proud of him and the awesome reviews that the movie is getting. Not to mention lines around the block to see it. Jon, we miss you truly but/and we're so happy for you!

at long last.....

Dada's coming home.

It's been way way way too long for us to be apart.

We've missed him so much and we can't wait to be together as a family again.

Hurry up, Jon!

PS: I wonder where Cade gets his smile from?

missing you, Dada

dreaming.....

......of being with you, on Father's Day, Dada!

Jon, we miss you so much. I hope we never have to spend another Father's Day apart from you!

This is so hard. Clearly, we all miss you so much. Everyday, I feel the pain of your absence and can't wait for the day that our family can be together again. Being without you has shown me just how much we love you, and appreciate you, and cherish you, and need you. I'm sorry you're missing us/me/them, but I am so proud of you. While I struggle with them everyday, I can't imagine how much you must be missing them right now.

Know that we love you every minute of every day or every hour.

Happy Father's Day, Dada! Now make that movie and come back soon!

Missing you, Dada.

good times

Over Easter, Jon took the boys to the Danbury Railway Museum, where they met the Easter Bunny, and generally tore all over the place, checked out the trains, and did rockstar poses. There were so many good pics it was hard to choose these few.

Dada, we miss you.

Counting the days.....

"I accidentally found the panorama tool in iPhone camera today so the boys had some fun with it." - Guest blogger, Jon Milott says.  

I wish that room was really that big!

Kisses for Dada, too.

Happy Birthday Dada!

Dear Dada,


I love you I drawed for you and I did everything and it's your birthday so I love you. Buh-bye.


I like you because we go see Sammy and play with him and go to the beach and play at the beach.


We like to play and look at rainbows. Play Light Saber and Star Wars with you.


I like to watch movies with you. I like to do crazy things in the car when you drive.


I love you. And that's it.


Happy Birthday Dada Jon Milott.


Love,
Jackson


Dear Dada, 


Five. Four. T. T. Key. 


I love you because I know you. Because I know you. Because Dada knows me, and he knows me. 


Sit with Dada and eat with Dada. And play with Dadddy. 


Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Dada, happy birthday to youuu. 


(blowing out candle sound)


I like to go potty with Dada. And go pee-pee in the potty. 


Anything else you want to say? 


He has sunglasses. 


Love, 
Cade

father and son adventure

A few weeks ago, Jon took Jackson to the Empire State Building. They went early on a Sunday and were psyched to find no lines and they went right up to the top. Jackson loved it. I'm so glad they went. I always feel like we don't take advantage of living in the city, and I know there are lots of New Yorkers who have never been to the top. I'm glad Jackson will have that memory of his special trip with Dada.

dada we miss you

jon's cake

Jackson decided that we should make Jon a square, blue birthday cake. I thought he was going to ruin the surprise (on Monday night Jackson handed him a wrapped birthday present and said, "Here's your remote!") but he didn't.

And I got to use my new cake-cutter from the thrift store ($2.). :)
