Chuck D & Mr. T

Charlie wanted to know all about what he was like as a baby tonight. And he really enjoyed the part about how he was once only as big as a grape, then about the size of an apple, then “about the size of wheat” he offered. Yes I suppose the size of wheat I said.

We did his reading which we do each night, then worked on the guitar (he improvised a song about a dog named Biscuit that he was about in a book at school), then read a little bit of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory before snuggling. I told him that I miss him when he is at school and playing so we will take a special bike ride together Sunday. I’m really looking forward to it.

” Anything is possible when you combine kindness with a thoughtfulness. ”
This was a line in a video that was a tribute to NCRC’s amazing head of school, Liz Barclay spoken by Robert Lerhman (the daddy of Juliette and Jason who are friends with Charlie and the girls). I think that Liz has shown this and it is something we can all copy.

Last night we went to see Mitzi receive an award for all her work leading the council at Theater J. We were so honored to be there with her and were so proud. I’m so happy the children have her as a role model for community involvement, love of the arts, and being funny in front of a crowd.

I love MJ so.

We lounge together on the sofa and flip through the pages of fashion magazines and the girls have me year out the pictures they like-this time a couple lipsticks, some nail polish bottles, a white gown, and flowery glasses. Scottie liked the Dolce and Gabana campaign that actually reminds me of her and Nelly.

These two climb so well and on everything. Go on being strong, ladies.

We have friends for lunch or dinner as often as we can and we all love it.

Oh the fragrance of magnolia blossoms.
