Dee just landed a HUGE job! Way to go Mama Dee! It’s going to be great for the family, I mean, after the month she’ll be working her fingers to the bone and I’ll be a “single mom” it will be a positive. It’s a real ego booster for her and the happiness is just oozing out of her pores. It’s cool to see, we all know she’s amazing at what she does but it’s nice to get a pat on the back every so often. Oh yeah, and she’s taking Mary and I to VEGAS.!!!!

Aikido camp went well today, it was strangely cool to watch Carlos and Levi sit on the mat and bow and follow directions without complaint. Carlos was really clingy but really got the movement part. It’s something we’ll look into continuing for sure. The cool part about Aikido is that it’s not about fighting, it’s about bringing your opponent down and de-escalating the situation. If all the boys were trying to de-escalate, wow, can you imagine?

I’m so excited, my brother and his son are coming into town on Friday. It’ll be so great to see him, it’s been awhile. Luca is only two weeks older than Carlos so all the boys together truly dig eachother and have fun playing together.
