over the fence

She does FOURTEEN so much better than I did-

even if she did have to climb the fence to retrieve her sister's sweater...

that she may or may not have thrown over...

planting the garden

He worked all day--
came home to meet a bit early to meet the activity day girls here,
they made us a DELICIOUS dinner and GET WELL cards for Danny (after his bike accident)
before he could eat; he was off to take Ellie (and Noah) to group bass lesson
while Sophie and I hopped in the car to flute.

He came home after 7, ate dinner (again...it was DELICIOUS), finished up dishes while Sophie and I did her reading on the couch...

AND THEN headed out to the garden to plant the vegetables and flowers we purchased.
All of that with a recovering separated shoulder.
He is so good to us.

3 answers to many prayers

These three girls and their Daddy spoiled me all day long.  The meals, sweet notes, handmade gifts, and all around pampering made my whole day.  These girls couldn't possibly know how they were prayed for and dreamt about.  We wanted them so badly.  What a joy they are to Danny and I.  I am left asking myself regularly- how did I get so lucky?

track

No records were set...
But she pushed herself out of her comfort zone, attended practice when she had "better things to do, cheered for teammates and learned more about herself and what she is capable of.  Danny (with his arm in a sling), me (with a camera around my neck), Kate (with sun in her eyes) and Sophie (DYING to be on that field the WHOLE time) loved cheering for her tonight.  We were all wishing that the season would last just a bit longer...well, maybe that was just me.

AC SEPARATION

He got up early for a bike ride.  He decided to ride North Canyon Trail to continue his preparation for the White Rim Bike Trip he would be joining the following week.  His time finishing the trail was earlier than his last ride and he was feeling good.  As he rode down Canyon Creek Drive to come home he felt his front tire "squish."  He looked down, noticed he was going 40 mph and over the handlebars he flew.  He landed on the asphalt with road rash on his ankle, hip, arm, shoulder and hand.  On top of that a grade 4 AC separation (pictured above).  Although he insists that he isn't selling his bike, he will be taking an extended break, and sadly, missing a trip he really loves.
