Three Things

1. New Dessert

I made this new dessert I found on the absolute best site ever, Pinterest, and it was a big success.

Ingredients:

Pound Cake

Strawbs

Skewers

White Chocolate to melt

Directions:

Slice strawbs and cut cake into squares. Put on skewers. Melt chocolate according to package. Refrigerate for 30 min then serve!

2. O'Ryan's .01K Fun Run!!!! 

Doesn't that crack you up - .01K! O'Ryan won (although some random older kid jumped in half way and ran past him). GOOOOO MY BOY!!! So proud. More proud that he was confident, secure, determined and not shy. There was a good crowd watching and he seemed to know just what to do. All of the other kids just stood there, lol. This age is too funny.

My man!

What a good dad, staying for the race! O'Ryan talked about how Maqui, Mommy and Daddy were there to watch him. They notice those things! :) See his medal he's wearing?? 

3. Waiting for Dad

Lately, he does this...waits for Dad to get home by the front door. I sit on the computer (right by the door) and keep the door open. Yesterday he wanted to leave his pads and jersey on to show Daddy. He gets so so excited about Daddy coming home from work then always clams up when he arrives! It doesn't take but 30 seconds for him to start acting goofy again.

I can still remember waiting in the driveway for David to get home. That always stuck with David. And you know what happens when things get stuck with David!! He reminds you of that over, and over, and over. When I was older and always busy, he would always joke and ask, "Hey, why don't you ever wait for me in the driveway anymore? I liked that!" :) 

Now he jokes about that because their four dogs (yes, FOUR) greet him first. 

So those little things really do matter...showing up for a 20 second .01K race...waiting an hour out front for Daddy to get home. I've said it before and I'll say it again! We know those little things are really the BIG things!
