Rob just called. It looks like his 11-year old sister, Dakota, is finally going to come and visit us for the weekend! We have been trying to get her here for almost a year. Grant you, she is just coming over from North Tampa, but it is a big deal to her to be able to spend the weekend with us. This means Rob actually has to go to bed at a decent time and get up early to spend some time with her before he has to go to work. His mother explained to her the fact that Rob would be working in the evenings and Dakota said "That's okay, Tanya and I can do fun girl things." I am surprisingly looking forward to this weekend. I think it will do Dakota a lot of good to be around a different home environment other than what she is used to.
