A walk in the park.

You, mommy and daddy went with uncle Ben and aunt Rachel Rose and Sophia, Aurora and Carter to the river front park. The bigger kids rode their bikes and you rode in your stroller. After our walk, the kids played hard and got very warm, Carter took his shirt off! He enjoyed pushing you, making sure the sun wasn't in your eyes and not going too fast or slow.

After the walk we went to Ben & Rachel's house for A BBQ dinner. After dinner, we learned of some very important news.
Osama bin Laden was found and killed. 10 years ago, bin Laden, the leader of the terrorist group al quaida had som bad people attack America. On 9/11/01 the bad people crashed airplanes in New York, killing thousands of people. This started a war, since then, our military had been looking for bin Laden. They found where he was living and killed him. I'm sad for all the people who died on 9/11 and since then in war. I hope before you grow up much more, the war will be over.

In 20 years when someone asks if you remember when Osama was killed, I'm glad you can say that although you were just a baby, you had a great day, enjoying the freedom we enjoy as Americans, walking in clean parks, your family enjoyed healthy food and gave you extra love that day. bin Laden being killed is, for most people some closure for the very heavy sadness still felt after 9/11. For your mommy, it's pride to be part of a wonderful country, it's a reminder to love more, hug more, and be more grateful for what we have as Americans.

For me, that is you, your daddy, our family.
