Hey Daddy!
How's your day been going? I'm ONE DAY OLD! It was SO NICE to see/hear you again on skype... thanks for making time to talk to us :) It definitely made my day... I'm sorry I slept through the entire thing, but really, that's ALL I do (besides eat and dirty my diapers)... I know you want to be here and would do anything to be with us right now, but I also know that you're over there because that's where you're needed right now. Mama stayed up almost all night talking to me (and making sure I was breathing) and telling me all about you... she started at the very beginning of when you guys met (and how stubborn she was back then)... daddy, you put up with a LOT with Mama! I promise I won't be THAT stubborn ok?! She told me over and over how much you and her love me, which makes me feel so good... even though I already know that you guys love me more than anything. Then, we prayed for you- she said she prays ALL the time for you, so just know that we're both praying for you ALL THE TIME :)

Grandpa Timmons came up in the morning to hold me for a few hours while Nana went home to shower... when she got back, Mama's friend Claire came up (she totally interrupted our skype time with you, when she FIRST walked in the room, but then she got on her phone with her husband- he's deployed right now too)... Grandpa Timmons LOVED holding me and was sad that he had to go back to work, but I was excited Nana came back- I like her a lot- she was the first person to hold me (so she thinks she's EXTRA special). When Claire left, your guys' friend Ashlee and their baby, Ainsley came up to the hospital- it was nice to meet them... Mama said you and James are really good friends, and that when you get back we'll be hanging out with them... so I will be friendly and make friends with Ainsley... Mama told Nana that Aashlee has "calmed down" a lot since having Ainsley- I guess that's good?!

Then, Mama took a short nap while Nana held me, but then your guys' friend Mary came, then Caitlin, then Zach (Mama said he's like an Uncle to me because he's your best friend)... that's cool. How many "uncle's do I have though?! Mama said another "uncle" is Jake... and James... but then I have Uncle Nate, Uncle Mark, AND Uncle Lee... can we stop there? Grandma Lohman came too, then Great Aunt Jean, and Great Uncle Al too... Grandpa Lohman had to work... but we were EXHAUSTED from all the visitors! IT was nice seeing everyone, but we were definitely tired... anyways, Daddy, I love you so much, and so glad we're one day closer to you being HOME with us! Thanks again for keeping me (and all of our friends/family) safe... you're my HERO daddy! I love you!
Love,
Kenzie
