Just as You Are

We had a busy, exhausting, freezing, weekend in CT watching the Huskies beat South Florida with a last-minute field goal I might add. Yeah for kickers! We had the opportunity to take Erin, Chad's significant other, with us to surprise him. It was fun plotting and planning all week to make it happen. He had NO idea. It was so fun to see his face when he realized she was there when before the game we were trying to get his attention at the end of the field that he was warming up on and where the mega tron is. The camera tech saw us trying to get Chad's attention so that he could see Erin and he put her up on the mega tron as Chad was kicking towards it..... it was pretty adorable. It is fun to see him happy and how sweet and caring he is towards her.
I am determined to be supportive and accepting of whoever my kids care about. I had a great example in Rich's family. I always felt like they accepted me from the moment I met them. Mom was a great example to me. Boys are special to moms and it isn't always easy to see them caring so deeply about someone else. I don't ever want to be "that kind of mother" and have that tension. So far so good.

I loved our "First" awesome cookie palooza and think that it turned out exactly as it should have. You are a pure delight to be with. You looked like Martha, Rachel R and Paula all rolled into one. I don't know, do you think that it could have been the apron?? Maybe we don't have gobs and gobs of cookies but be had gobs and gobs of fun. It was a beautiful day that I will always cherish in my "Memory Chest which is filled with so many other beautiful memories of my sweet princess. Love you Angel.

ps. I know, next year we will make it a "slumber cookie palooza party (slcpp)" yes, that will be cool!!
