Conductors get all the cheese they want.

Everyone else has such cute little stories about there kids that I thought I should start writing ome of this stuff down, because I am begining to forget, so having said that...

Tonight at dinner Cally had finished up first and Tucker wanted her to play us a "Cally original" song on the piano. She was being shy but started playing all the same. She was doing a really good job, so I was being supportive and telling her how great it sounded. I then told her that maybe when she grows up she could even be a conductor. Tucker thought that was a cool idea, but if you know Cally you know what she did...said no and rolled her eyes at me. Tucker thought he would try to entice her into it and says, "Ya know Cally, conductors get all the cheese they want." I thought that was so funny. I said why cheese Tuck and he said, ya know mom Parmesean. I lost it. Cally LOVES Parmesean. So much so that she even snuck some of it in the middle of the night and I found a bowl of it under her bed.

I guess my kids are kinda funny too! Just thought I would share.

Cards isn't just cards

OK ladies, I just wanted to reiterate how much I treasure, not cards, but our friendships. I had the opportunity to go to a "cards night" this weekend that I think was started based on all the talk of ours and let me tell you what it wasn't.

It was not my cards night. I know your thinking "well duh!", but it made me realize yet again what we have. Cards night has nothing to do with playing cards. It has to do with touching base with each other. Staying involved in each others lives and not in the busy body way. I was so awestruck at the different personalities this weekend that I think i just took for granted that we are for the most part all on the same page with such important things...Faith, Family, Marriage, Parenting and etc. So I thought that I would take this time to say AGAIN that I love each one of you and please believe me when I say that my life wouldn't be as fulfilled if just one of you were missing from it. I am so grateful that you guys put forth such a HUGE effort to be my friend. I am so grateful that your husbands are so understanding about "cards" because if they wanted to they really could make it difficult. I am grateful that you want to spend, what is most cases is, your ONE and ONLY night out sitting around at my house doing nothing. I am just grateful...blessed really. I think I take ALOT for granted on a daily basis, but I don't ever want any of you to think that our friendships is one of them. The older I get the more I realize that what we have is a gift from God. A gift very few people are given.

So..long story short...our cards night rocks and other cards nights stink! Well, I guess they don't stink that bad, but our night is SECOND TO NONE!

Love you guys!
