A Day with the Girls

Saturday I helped host a lingerie shower for one of my oldest and dearest friends, Jennifer. She and I have been friends since junior high school and have remained close even though our lives have gone in different directions, often thousands of miles apart. Jennifer is one of those friends who has always encouraged and inspired me to live life fully and take those "out of the box" chances. I am so excited and proud to see her "over the moon" for a really great guy.

Mark had his own "day with the girls". He took the girls to the park to enjoy the sunshine and hopefully work up to a long nap! They started at Airport Park near our house. The park was rather crowded and my timid child, Ellie, was apprehensive about playing around all of the other kids. The "fearless" Sadie Kate however, hit the slide immediately. She quickly had a run-in with an older boy who kept growling at her and scaring her. Mark saw this and walked over just in time to see his precious little girl pull back her fist to hit "the screamer". Mark reached up, stopped her hand and she melted into a crying heap begging Daddy to take her home--so much for a relaxing day with the girls.
