Recovering

Thanks so much everyone for your nice words, prayers, and thoughts for my dad. He is recovering well and I was able to talk to him for a little bit this morning. It was really wonderful to hear his voice! It gave me more confidence that he would recover completely so we can see each other soon. I feel like I'm getting my "spunk" back little by little and it feels good.

What else we've been up to?

1. Season opening at Dallas Children's Theater with "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day."

2. Still going strong with swimming. My heart swells up watching Ella do so well. Boy, she is competitive too. Last night it was just her and a little boy. She watched that little kiddo like a hawk (lol!) and always made sure she came in first. Ha-ha! She loves working hard and for that I'm so proud of her. Yesterday she learned the 'dolphin' kick using the kickboard and continued practising her backstroke.

(I have this urge to get back to swimming and exercising. I did work out three times last week in Omaha but need to get back on a training schedule. I want things to go back to normal and this is part of my normality.)
3. And we got her school picture back! It turned out great, I think. Sweet barely-there smile, she's got!
