Last night I went to pick up M at baseball practice. She was playing catcher (kind of) and she looked SO cute. There are lots of restless boys on her team and the coach kept saying that M was setting a good example and that she was doing the opposite of what they were doing. How cute is she?

In other exciting news, N said "Mama" tonight. That made me very happy. Another new word: "cookie".

Finally, we are all thinking about Nana, Grampy and Emily tonight, who lost their beloved dog, Sammy. He had been sick for a while, but it is very sad and difficult. We love you and are thinking of you.
