Hello Baby Elser 12-12-97

You went to your first “rock” concert last night.

You went to Q101’s (a radio station in Chicago) Twisted Christmas

4 concert with 3-11, Sara McGlathlin, Duran-duran, The Cure,

Chumbawumba, and a couple of others. It was at the united center

where the Chicago Bulls normally play. We were in the Fox sports

Skybox on the south side of the floor. Are you going to be a

music fan when you grow up? I hope so. If I’m lucky, you’ll learn

to play the banjo! That would be cool.

Love, Your Father.

Hello Again Baby Elser 5:40 metra out of union station 12-15-97

You already have a nickname…..hmmmm.

We sent a note out telling people of you, and at the end of the

note we (I) signed it “Kathi and Ed and Fetus Elser”

well, When Elden and Mike read the note (at different times) they

thought it said “Festus” When they found out there mistake

everyone laughed so hard, that they decided to keep it. We’ll

see…

I wanted to make some promises to you. Some of them might be

things that should be taken for granted, and others perhaps not.

1)I promise to take you camping and to the zoo.(easy-no problem)

2)I promise to keep my temper when disciplining you, and make

sure you know I’m doing it because I care and not just because

I’m mad (slightly more difficult)

3)I promise to help you figure out problems for your self, not

just fix it for you.(this might be really hard for both of us)

4)I promise to do things with you, and not make excuses. I know

this is a little vague, interpret it how you want and tell me,

I’ll let you know if that is what I meant.

5)I promise not to yell at your mother in front of you.

more to come…..

Love, Your Father
