Father Daughter Time

The rhythms of fatherhood are setting in and finding their place in our dear Aurelia's heart. Jonathan sings to her night and day and I harmonize when I can. We think she recognizes some of the songs from when Jonathan sang them to me while she was still in utero. Here on the outside, the father daughter duo have developed their own little dances in some of the precious moments when she is awake. Here is one of their first . . .


One of their other favorite ways to spend time together is reading books. While most of the time they read Atlas Shrugged, sometimes they go for something a little lighter - Dr. Seuss. Thanks to Dad and Becky, we can choose from a number of Dr. Seuss stories. Here is an excerpt. . .


Honey left today to go back home and we are all sad to see her go. It was lovely having her here for the weekend and we will miss her dearly. Now, it is just the three of us at home. We will all continue to find our rhythm as a family - our night rhythms, our day rhythms, our rituals, our moments of wonder and of course exhaustion. We are looking forward to every minute.

    Love,
    Honey
