Feelings

The other day Lexi and I were shopping.  She picked up a baby doll and carried it around with her while we were shopping.  She also picked up about 20 necklaces and put them on and carried around a large (very large) pink purse.  When it was time to go I asked her to put everything away.  She put away the necklaces and she put away the purse without any problems.  I then asked her to put the baby back too.  She cradled the baby in her arms and snuggled with the baby's face and said, "But mom, the baby doesn't want to stay at the store."  I could tell by the way Lexi acted with this baby that she felt love and wanted to take care of this particular baby.  She is so loving and nurturing.  How could I say no to that sweet voice?  I didn't...we have a new baby.  Her name is Ten.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
