Kids, if one of you would come over here and neducate my children while juggling the Bean and Handsome Jack, that would be great. I awoke at 2 a.m. again and began to finally drift back to sleep around 5;30 when Eden started shouting, “Is it morning time?” She had misplaced Pinkie in her sleep and came out of the depths in her searching to hear birds chirping. I climbed into bed with her and the next hour and a half was a torturous medley of questions about Jesus, prayers, plans for an all female family member sleep over, pleadings for milk and concerns for Jack.

Around 7:00 I kicked her out to go get Paul who sent her right back. I repelled her again and Paul awoke enough to realize that if I was trying to crash in Eden’s room that could only mean I had taken a bullet for him. This didn’t keep Eden out though, she kept returning with more news and notes. Finally I told her not to come back without a cup of coffee.

She returned almost immediately. I opened one eye. “How many spoons of sugar do you like?”

The next time I rolled over, Paul was there with the actual cup.

Let the healing begin.

You know there are times that, even if you’re not prone to swearing, you look in the mirror and think D#*%* I look good!
This was one of those times.
Eden felt pretty good too.
The necklace she is wearing belonged to my Grandma Wolfe who died when I was three, more than a year younger than Eden is now.
It’s only been worn a few times in the last thirty (three) years. Somebody is making up for lost time.

OK, so I didn’t buy the digital camera. The one I was planning to purchase got mixed reviews. My second choice is a little bulky. I might need to expand my search.
Saturday, the Bean and I were out and about with Torey and the Peanut. The two Legumes, were walking hand in hand, talking a blue streak. “I can’t believe I left my camera at home.” Torey said. “And I didn’t bring my laptop.” I said, snapping my fingers. She burst out laughing and made me give her a high five. Making Paul or one of my siblings laugh hard is a gold star on my chart.
Jack is a busy boy and a tease. He likes to strike a pose and then dash right before the shot.
