Tinker Bell Weekend Part I

Dear Logan,

Today, we left San Diego to go to Disneyland for our Tinker Bell Race weekend. Tomorrow you will be racing the 1-3 year old 100 meter dash at 9:00 AM. On Sunday, your mommy and daddy will be running 13.1 miles (half marathon). This will be our second Tinker Bell 1/2 Marathon and you're second Disney Race.

We headed over to the expo to pick up our race bibs and goodie bag to complete our race registration.

Uncle Howie

Dear Logan,

Today is your Uncle Howie's 40th birthday. I will add more to this and tell you about your Uncle Howie. He's one of the funniest people I know and we can laugh for hours.

Here's a list of topics about your Uncle Howie I would like to tell you about him.

1. He's my brother

2. Extremely funny and has awesome entertaining stories

3. Very passionate about the filipino martial arts. He now studies and teaches San Miguel Eskrima.

4. He's a male nurse at Kaiser

5. Doesn't take crap from anyone just like your daddy.

6. We both have done a lot of things growing up that a lot of people don't believe us. Yes, some of the experiences we went through seemed unbelievable, but they're all true.

Love you,

- Daddy
