Dear Tyler,

Hi pumpkin! How are you doing on this Sunday evening? Mom has had quite the busy day & I just keep going and going. Mom was up at 6:45 am because Ozzy felt it was time to eat so Mom just got up and let Mark sleep in. after the pups were fed, Mom lounged back in bed for a little bit and then got up, dusted, vacuumed and did laundry. Mom got ready after doing that and Mark and I were out the door to go run some errands. We left at 11 am and we were home by 2 pm. we managed to get a lot done outside the home today so that worked out well. when we got home, Mom put things away and then came right in and went to her schoolwork. I actually submitted 2 exams. Looks like I will get A's on both of them and then my final grade will be an A as well. Mom is pretty happy about that. Tomorrow is Monday and because my new course material is not available for downloading until Tuesday, Mom does not have school. I have the day off. I have a bunch of things to do thought to keep me busy during the day while Mark is working. Mom had a conversation with Meme today as well. She sounded quite tired. She was saying that her neighbors woke her up at 1 am this morning, had Skittles barking and she could not fall back to sleep. She was going to be going to bed really early tonight. I am sure that she is already asleep and it is not even 7 pm. Guess Bob is doing alright. She didn't say much about him today. Mom will have time tomorrow so I will touch base with Aunt Beck & see how she is doing and how Bean is. Mom knows that Grandpa will call tonight as well. I will give you those updates on tomorrows letter. Mark and Mom have a skype call coming up in about 10 minutes so I am sure that I will have to continue my letter to you after that call. No biggie. 
 The weather today was absolutely beautiful. The sun was shining all day and the skies were so blue. The sun will be setting soon and Mom is hoping that I get to see a stunning painting in the sky. we shall see. I am putting my request in to you so warm up those brushes my sweet precious son! Tomorrow it is suppose to rain all day long and be gray but the rest of the week seems to be rain fee I think. Oh nope...scratch that... just looked rain Monday and Tuesday now and sun will be out Wednesday and Thursday. We are getting so much rain here. April and May were just soggy months for us. Seems like we get 2 nice days and then we get a bunch of rain. Mom wishes that it would be sunny for days before we got rain. Makes it tough all around. Bummer.....
 Mom is hoping that you are liking the first 2 pictures of your dedication month. First was one of our favorite pictures together and the second one was of a seal because you used to say you were my baby seal all the time. The next couple of days I will be posting pictures of our family as I know that they were very dear and close to your heart. You loved us all very much just as we loved and love you still very much. Mom might add extra pictures some days so I can get a lot in for this month. I saw a really amazing picture of Auntie Ann and Uncle Ray that I will share with you on tomorrows letter. Tonight will be Meme, Bob, Grandpa, Debbie, Mark and Joe. The only picture I can't put on here is a picture of you and your Dad as I have none. I sent them all to your Dad. I am sorry about that but there is nothing I can do. Maybe I can look through some old photos to see if I have any that got left behind....if so I will post one. 
 Mom is hoping that your evening will be filled with all kinds of things that you need to do and may want to do. If you can, come visit Mom in my dreams tonight or sit with me by my side so that I get some rest. Thank you. I will light the candle for you as well in a little bit. It burns for you. I will whisper to you as I always do so be listening out for Mom's voice. Smile when you hear me and I will smile right back to you. Mom misses you more than words can say and I love you to the moon and back and all the way around the world. You will always be my hero and the wind beneath my wings. Forever you will be in my heart, mind, body and soul. Mom will be back tomorrow with another letter to you but for no I need to get going. It is 8 pm and Mom actually has a few things to do before I can relax for the evening. Until tomorrow.... good night and sweet dreams.
 Always, Mommy xoxoxo. Muah!

Here is the prayer for the day:

He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 2:17–18, NIV

Dear Father in heaven, we thank you for all your goodness and for the peace you give us. Unite us as your people, we pray. Unite us as one people with all your children who have ever lived, as one people with all who want to serve you. The more faithfully and joyfully we are your people, the more blessing you can give. Let the material world come under your hand. Guide your children on earth. Lead us in such a way that others may be helped. When we suffer, grant us strength and understanding of your will. Protect us today and every day. Amen.
