Tuesday's Blog

Had a busy day. Trying to get organized and stuff together and all in order, then my daughter called and needed me to bring her her work-out clothes down to work so she could work out in the gym after class is over tonight. Then she needed me to make a bank run for her. Finally, was heading back to continue my project and my ex-sister-in-law called and was in town for Easter from St. Louis, and wanted me to come over and see the kids and everyone.

Went over to my other ex-sisters-in-law and had a great visit with them. The kids have gotten so big. One is 3 yrs old, then a kindergartner, 3rd grader and 6th grader. I was always very close to their mother and the kids and I had kept the girls for a week about 6-7 years ago down here in Oklahoma City while "mom and dad" took a vacation. I had taken them to the Zoo and Omniplex etc... and made them a photo scrap book. Believe it or not, they still have it and Haley still carries it around with her. The kindergartner I haven't seen since she was first born, when I went up to St. Louis to stay and help her mother take care of her and the other two kiddo's. As for the 3 year old boy, I haven't seen him since he was a newborn either. He lives here in Oklahoma City. I have seen him only about two times, but we had a great time together. He wanted to play "hot wheels" and having three boys of my own, it really brought back wonderful memories, so I watched and encouraged him and his fun! Also, the three girls have "American Girl" dolls and my daughter had those too, and since they are older and remember me a lot more, we had so much to talk about too. The oldest girl won 2nd place nationwide in gymnastics in her age bracket. She is going to try-out to qualify for the "elite" team? Apparently if she makes this, she will be eligible for Olympic training etc... She is going to Chicago next month for another event of some type. It is obvious that I don't know exactly what all is involved in the gymnastics protocol etc..., but no matter what, I'm proud of her! We played outside and they swung in the swing attached in the tree and had Popsicle's and lots of "fresh air."

It was wonderful to catch up and see them all again. This Easter was one of the best in years! I am a very lucky woman to have such a wonderful large, extended family whom God has blessed me with!

Praise Be To GOD!
