Suzy came to visit for 4 days last week and it was soooooo fun to have her here. I made her come to CrossFit with my twice because Mike told me to make sure she had fun and relaxed. I think that pull-ups, pushups, running, and lifting weights is fun, so why wouldn't she? Maybe not so relaxing but she enjoyed it, even though she had trouble walking the next day. Mostly I just loved having the company of my wonderful, beautiful sister. Darren laughed at us for playing Scrabble with each other on our i phones. We played electronic Scrabble and watched our "stories" (something about a Lark and a Candle). So nice.
Suzy said that she thought that she kept blinking when Darren snapped the picture so I thought I should probably blink too.

In other news, Gillian is having trouble staying in her bed at night and going to school in the morning. There have been many tearful mornings where I've had to plead, threaten, and finally drag her to school. Oh, the guilt!!! Tears rolling down her cheeks, complaints of tummy ache, or sore throat, or headache. She wants to be home schooled. No way. I can't get to the bottom of it and she says that it's not because of anyone. She just misses me. Anyway, I hope that she outgrows it soon. For now she has been staying in her bed because she has a new bedmate named Holly. This sweet dog dutifully joins Gillian every night. She gets under the covers and lays her head on the pillow next to Gilli and licks her cheek (ewwwww!). But it works and I won't complain of dog hair on the sheets.
Gavin worked pretty hard on his art project-- a knife (of course) that he made from a railroad spike.
Drew has been very busy with school work and orchestra. Her school was chosen to be in a special concert in Bellevue. It's apparently the first time that an elementary school orchestra has been chosen for such a big event. She is getting really good at the violin.
