For the 1st Time Ever...

Dear Serenity,

For the first time EVER, you will be going with Ricky and Thelma to Texas to visit your grandmother and Aunt Crystal.  They have not seen you for a few years, and Ricky asked me if he could take you to spend some time with his family.  I hope that you do not forget about me while you are there.
Daddy Moon and I dropped you off last night at your father's apartment.  It was heartbreaking to leave knowing that for the next 5 days I will not be able to see your smiling face.  It is even more heartbreaking to know that you will be traveling and on the road for the first time with Ricky.  I know that he will take great care of you, but I still cannot drop this feeling of my heart sinking.  Ricky is Ricky. What can I say.  Since you will be celebrating Thanksgiving with him (with extra days...) I get you for Christmas ^_^ Ricky and I will have to think of a time for you to spend with him for Christmas as well...that way he does not misses you too much.

I guess in a sense, Ricky and I are in a "civil relationship."  Somewhere along the lines if it pertains to you we will talk about it.  I'm thankful for that.  

I hope that you enjoyed your car trip. I know that you can do it because we went to Houston before. Just a few months ago for your Aunt Emaly & Uncle Tommy's wedding.  You were great!

So it's about 7 months away till your 4th birthday. I would like to throw a themed birthday party.  I have some tricks up my sleeve so hopefully it will work out well for all of us.
Mommy misses you Serenity.
Hope you are having a great time with Ricky's side of the family.
I am anxiously waiting for you to come home!!!

Forever and always,
Mommy

Update @ 4:30 PM CST:
I have just called Ricky twice and texted him as well as your grandmother and your aunt.
Glad that you are all having your reunion but I know I made it very clear with Ricky that he was to answer or reply to the text when I contacted you.  He could have responded to let me know that you guys made it there, and I have not gotten any responses yet.  I had one simple request and that was to answer my call or reply to my text. 

1st Month Memories

So Mommy was going through some files on the computer and I happen to find some videos of you when you were just born.  I can't believe at one point you were THAT little! It's been 3 and half years and you are growing up more and more lovely by the day. 

Halloween had just past and you were as cute as ever in your princess costume.  Ricky came along with us to go trick-or-treating...which amazingly we had a good time.  At least I did.  You enjoyed it as well too.  Ms. Carla and Mr. Johnny came over with Jayla and Zoe was there too. Ms. Anna came over with her son and her niece and nephew.  All in all it was a good crowd we went with.  Thelma came too.

These videos were from the first month. You were so tiny! But so adorable. I loved your sneeze. Those were some memories though. You had a bad case of jaundice and were in the hospital for 5 days. You were born on Tuesday, June 3, 2008 and we didn't get discharged fully until Saturday, June 8th, 2008. You were the greatest baby I could have asked for. Until the fourth week you were home.  It was crying from 8pm - 5am and then you'd sleep. That happened for about a week. But now you just talk back. On occasions.  Everyday...but its okay.  Mommy will never stop loving you.
