"Daddy? DADDY? Where are you? Hurry, I gotta show you sumpin!" Was all I heard at 7 o'clock this morning. About 30 seconds later I felt a finger poking me in the back.
"Daddy, hurry I gotta show you sumpin." As I opened my eyes, I was meet by Eesti's blue eyes and a smile. She started to tug at my arm, and it was only then that I realized that she really was in a hurry. As I got out of bed, she quickly grabbed my hand and lead me downstairs to the kitchen. All the bad things that could happen started racing through my mind. She let go of my hand, ran over to the table and pointed at a large mixing bowl sitting on it. Thank goodness nothing bad had happened.
"What Eesti, I'm tired." was all I could muster out. With a big grin on her face she said,
"Look at my ants! Aren't they beeeautiful?" Ants? What the hell is she talking about? As I got closer to the bowl, I noticed that inside the bowl were some rocks, potato chips, and ANTS.
"See daddy, my ants. An I give them some chippies to eat." I stood there laughing to myself, and then she picked up a blue plastic lid and slammed it on top of the bowl with a boom.
"An now they no can get away!" she said triumphantly. Without knowing what to say, I told her to go and show her mother. She picked up the bowl and headed back upstairs looking for Michelle.
"Mommy, I gotta show you sumpin." she shouted, as she stomped up the stairs.
I guess that it is time to get Eesti a pet. Ants just don't do it for me.
My little girl is growing up too fast! She has started pre-school. I was a total wreck after I dropped her off at Challenger. I am suprised I made it home without any incident, I was crying so bad. I am happy for my Eesti-mae though, she has been looking forward to school for over a year now.
August 2, 2008 was a great day for us. We had the joy of celebrating my cousins wedding. She looked beautiful. There is nothing like spending the day in the shadow of the Salt Lake Temple. Melissa and her husband, Dan, have a rather interesting background. Melissa, graduated from Duke, (I couldn't tell you in what) served a mission in Barcelona Spain, came home and went to University of Maryland. Talk about a brainiac. Dan, is an interesting guy. All I know is that he works for the Secret Service, guarding Pres. Bush. He even had his gun on him at his wedding reception! My Aunt Stephanie took a picture of it. Anyway, the ceremony was short and sweet. We all felt the spirit very strongly as we sat in the sealing room in the temple. It was fun to see all my family, they all live out of state.
