yay, girl!
Today was her first day of preschool! Yesterday she told me, “Grandma, you’re not going to even see me tomorrow because I will be at PRESCHOOL!” I told her we’d pick her up before lunch, so we’d see each other a little. She LOVED it. Heidi said she told the teachers the child is bad
heidi’s birthday
The proud child with the cake she and her dad baked. It was a great day. We got food and went to the park for lunch. We chose a park close to work, so Kirsten could come too. Heidi if anyone would have told me when you were little that you would grow up to

a little wild supper
That’s a big, giant meatloaf above. Here are the people who agreed to come over and eat it on a cold Tuesday night. If they could not come tonight, then I wouldn’t see these babies until who knows when, and that’s just too darn long. Dan and Alicia had mercy on me and indulged this

cold
Okay, this morning she climbed into my bed to watch Curious George on PBS. That’s fine. But then she kicked and kicked and kicked until I was annoyed. “You keep on kicking and kicking, and now my whole back is uncovered and I’m cold.” I expected her to toss the covers over me or ignore
