Today Addy came to spend the day with the daycare. It is fun for me to see just how much she reminds me of her mom. Example: When Andrea was about 2 years old she was terrified of flies. I tried to explain to her that she was much bigger than they were. Finally I decided to show her how scared of her they were. We would sneak up on them and yell really loud at them. Sure enough they would fly away in terror. All that summer I could hear Andy yelling at the flies. Fast forward to today, Addy was eating lunch and who should show up but a FLY. She screamed bloody murder and could not finish her lunch. The rest of the day she had her eyes open, searching for the dreaded fly. I guess it is time to start yelling again.

Today I went on a date with Miguel on a weeknight. I haven't done that for a while. He has been coaching 2 teams and it takes up every day of the week but friday and sunday. This is on top of working a full time job. No wonder when he finally does have some free time, he is tired. Miguel has always done whatever it takes to provide for his family. It was not unusual for him to have a part-time job when my girls were little. He is a very hard worker and I need to tell him more often that I appreciate that about him. I am off to do just that!

I always rescue baby robins who are in peril... every spring. I am pretty good at it, too. The vet taught me that if you soak a piece of dry dog food in water, it provides them with the protein and water they need. Then when they are strong enough I set them free.

I got to have a great time shooting with my boys. They gave me a cute pink 22 for my birthday one year. I loved it! While we were at the cabin we set up a target and did a little shooting. I really am pretty good at it, too. I love those boys!

We went to listen to Stephanie Nielsen speak, (of the Nienie dialogs). She was truly inspirational and I was so happy to be able to share the experience with all 3 of my daughters. We went to dinner afterward and really laughed our heads off. What a great night!
