Katie decided to run cross country this year. I know. We were just as surprised. She had said she wanted to do volleyball but then changed her mind and joined the cross country team this summer. She started running almost 5 miles a day in practice this July. We went and bought some cross country shoes and told her once we invested money in this sport she was going to do it for the full

I love how dressed up they are, but they are barefoot. I guess they spent all the money on the dresses.

Lady Jane Grey's story is told through the eyes of her dress maker and later best friend, Lucy Day. Modern day Jane tells her story.

We were watching Clash of the Titans (the new one). There is a scene where the guy rides a Pegasus.
"I want a flying horse" says Katie.
"They're called a Pegasus" says Dennis. "And they aren't real."
"Then I'll just combine a horse and a dragon." Katie said.
"Dragons aren't real either." was Mary's reply.

I wish I had some contact info because I would tell her how much the story touched me.
I hope it touches you too.

Those moments of parenting that we would rather not talk about, that we wish had never happened. They make us hang our head in shame and wonder why in the world that nurse handed that innocent baby over to us. After all they didn't even come with an instruction manual. Everything comes with a instruction manual now days. Even a flashlight comes with some kind of instructions.
