We *heart* Rowan

Friday driving to school/work I asked Rowan what she wanted to do for the coming weekend. Her answer "I want to stay at Mom Mom and Pop Pops"...Nice eh? So a few emails and phone calls later and after work Parker, Lily and I drove her up there for her weekend getaway. They brought her home yesterday and she had "written" us a letter for Valentine's Day - apparently she "wrote" it herself and took Parker and I separately into the bedroom to "read" it to us. What follows is what she told us the letter said almost verbatim (because trust me I hung on every word)...

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

I love you really much and I will love you forever. Happy Valentine's Day. I know you missed me when I am at Mom Mom and Pop Pops but I miss you too and I will be home soon. Happy Valentine's Day. I will go to Mom Mom and Pop Pops again and you will miss me again but I will be home soon one day. I love you really much. Happy Valentine's Day.

Love Rowan.

Yep - I cried like a chick when she read the first two sentences of her letter. Then she smiled, liked that I was crying happy tears, started to read again and stopped - pointed at a scribble and said "I can't read this word, I have to go fix it"...it was awesome.
