Monday morning she said, “the end is near…”
Flu B positive but thanks to Xofluza she was smiling by Wednesday morning and back to school!
Go away winter germs!
Sick
neighbor
Things are always better when our favorite neighbor is in town!
Make it a great day!
Weekend
Robert and I headed up to the club for his dogfight’s Christmas party. There were jokes – some appropriate, some not – karaoke, and plenty of good cheer!
Maxwell and his friends went to a concert at Iron City which was fun for them. We then all suffered through the SEC Championship Saturday afternoon. Roll Tide anyway. Four of us salvaged the night with dinner at Chez Fon Fon! (don’t worry, Maxwell was with friends and we brought him a burger home!)
Make it a great day!
Tennis fun
Before Thanksgiving, Samantha and I had a fun dinner at the club for her tennis group! The 12u girls and their moms all got together to celebrate a great season…a season that Samantha was in just for fun and never played a single match! ha! But we’ll take any excuse for a girl’s night out!
Prom pose!
Sweet girls and fun moms!
Tennis is fun for all!
Birthday
Thinking of my dad a little more (if that’s even possible) this weekend on his 75th birthday. I wish I could tell him all about Maxwell’s deer. He wasn’t a deer hunter but he would occasionally hunt birds and I know he would have been impressed with my sharp shooter! I wish I could be discussing Maxwell’s upcoming Eagle project with him. It is so up his alley and, man, how do I wish he was here to help Maxwell build it. I wish I could tell him how well Spencer has handled the junior high this year. I would tell him how proud of I am of him for having the best football season ever but how I’m even more proud of how he handled the disappointment of basketball tryouts and I know he’d agree. I wish he could just see Samantha and how magical she is and see how much I delight in having a little girl. He knew how much I reeeeeally wanted a girl. Especially a girly girl like her who is also uber competitive like me. I wish I could tell him about how all three definitely use their best judgment…most of the time. I wish he could be with GJ on her all of her travel adventures and daily steps and determination to thrive even when life is hard. I wish I could tell him Happy Birthday and give him a big hug.
I wish I could tell him all these things but I also think he already knows.
Happy Birthday Daddy. We love you and we miss you. Now I’m going to go listen to some Andy Williams in your honor because it is “the most wonderful time of the year!”
