Who Wants Pie?

Dear Laney -

Crazy week so far. Dad was on a business trip the first few days of the week, and as usual, we were struggling without him.

We squeezed in one trip to the river on Monday afternoon...had a good time, 'til you started walking up the boat ramp and announced "Goin' 'ome."

Dad came back Tuesday night, and you made him atone for his absence by watching Dora The Explorer with you, or, as you call her, "Ora Splora."

That'll teach him.

Our house went on the market yesterday, and we already have people who want to see it, which is great. What's NOT great is that those people probably think our house actually looks like it did in those pictures. Silly people. So we started a flurry of activity last night to paint our deck and reshuffle all our junk. Sometimes when you're overwhelmed, it's best to just take a step back and bake a chicken pot pie.

But in the midst of all this madness, you're making all kinds of little breakthroughs. I especially enjoyed this last night:

Love,

Mom
