Saturday I woke up on my own around 8, even beating Katie who is normally my alarm on weekends.  She got up about a half hour later, and after some breakfast, begged me to take her to the park like she does every day.  I brushed my hair and got her in some clean clothes and we went to the park for the morning.  She likes to spend most of her time ( Read more... )

After they disappeared beyond the security area, I went back to the car and drove to Maine to stay with my sister Julie for a couple days. It was really nice.
