LSM Gals 2007

I had a great weekend and I can just see how lame it would have seemed to me 15 years ago. . .Michael and I had a sweet anniversary date on Thursday and then we had a nice family weekend. We didn’t go out and spend a ton of money entertaining them – we just went to SA to run a few errands and Karma took care of the rest. It was cool – everywhere we went presented all these nice family moments.

Tonight we spent a bunch of time discussing 9/11 with them, because we assume it is going to come up quite a bit this week and we wanted them to feel educated. They are smart kids. They were scared and sad about the things that happened, but the good thing is they know that it is normal to feel that way. I love my kiddos. I am lucky to have the family I do.

Enjoy. . .
