I make one peach pie a year. You will love it. I promise. Because I am not amazing at baking many things, but I dominate a peach pie.
Its your Grandpa Sluiter's birthday today. And we'll celebrate it with you every August 9 with a peach pie. Because he didn't ever want birthday cake on his birthday. He wanted peach pie. Ever since he was little.
This is just one of the many things I will teach you about your Grandpa. And while you will never meet him in person, I know he's already watching over you while we wait to meet you. Because that's what Grandpas do. And I'm sure he's whispering naughty little things in your ears on how to drive your mommy crazy when you're little. Because that is something THAT Grandpa would do. He always had a smart mouth comment for everything, but you couldn't help but love him for it. It sort of runs in the family. I hope one of you sweet boys has a little bit of that spunk in you too. If your Grandpa has anything to do with it, you both will.
And one day, if you tell me you want something besides birthday cake on your birthday, I'll learn how to make it. And if you both want something different, I'll make both things.
Just like I did for your Grandpa.
*Happy birthday dad. Miss you more than words can say.
