Without music life would be a mistake.  ~Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Life would be a mistake if there was no music to experience. (Have you ever been experienced…well…I have).  I have started playing music to McKinna at night to hopefully get her used to the “colors” of sound that await her in the world.  To make sure that she has been exposed to the best possible music, the selections are taken from her daddy’s playlist.  So far she has heard Bob Marley, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin.


Upcoming artists will contain Allman Brothers, Credence Clearwater Rivial, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday.

When I was growing up my favorite story was Peter Pan. Over the years I have been to see it at Play House on the Square and any movie that has come out related to Peter Pan I always make it a point to go and see it.   It was a special moment when I was able to read to McKinna for the first time even if it sounded like story time under water.  My your daddy’s words fall over your ears and heart like pixie dust as you fly through the adventures in life.

Hi Mommy,

So today is the day that you found out that God brought you a little present. (Me!). I just wanted to let you know that I can’t wait to see you and daddy. Before I wrote this Daddy told me a little bit about you. He talked about your incredible beauty, how smart you are (much smarter than he is), and how well you treat him. I wish I could be with you two now, but that time will come soon enough. Until then, please make sure you take your Juice Plus+ so that I am healthy, but most of all, though I may cause you to gain weight or to occasionally feel sick, know that I LOVE you sooo much and think of you as much as you and daddy think of me.

Daddy also told me to remind you that if you or I need anything to let him know and he will get it. We are his two miracles (one more and you can become a Saint).

I love you Mommy very much and will see you soon…

Love,
Baby McWiles
