Now that J & J are residing in the North Texas area, I've had the good pleasure of having them almost weekly for sleepovers. I'm enjoying this time with them so much.

J#2 amazes me with his imaginative play. He loves a book that I purchased over a year ago "The Day the Babies Crawled Away" and we read it almost every night that he's with me before he goes to sleep. Last Sunday, however, he carried it to church and he pulled out his Larry and Bob action figures and "incorporated" them into the story as he turned each page. It was wonderful.

J#1 wakes up happy and ready to seize each day. This past Sunday, I woke her and she exclaimed, beaming "MaDear, I had the best dream!" I asked her what it was about and she said "A buffet!" I asked her what was the best item on the buffet and she said "Hot Dogs!"

Most days I wake up with C-Span and the troubles of the world confronting me. It's nice to take a break from this routine!
