Randomness...

Heather has gotten quite the little attitude suddenly. Or maybe not so suddenly. She now likes to put her hands on her hips, cock her head slightly, do a long blink and then ask you "why you make me sad?"

My parents took Alison with them yesterday to my grandparent's 50th party. (Heather and me chose to bail out due to an attitude problem. Hers, not mine for once.) Anyhow, Alison was out until almost 11 pm. Came home, had dinner and got into bed close to midnight. What time was she up for the day you ask? 5 am. Are these the joys of motherhood?

Alison has taken up a new hobby the past few weekends. She draws a card Saturday night for our elderly neighbors and leaves it taped to their door. Then Sunday she goes over to make sure they got it and spends some time talking to them. They always call after to tell me how she makes their day. She has a huge heart.
