I just sent my baby off with Boppy and Grammie on a little trip to visit Auntie Manda and Uncle Andy up in Sacramento. (Sniff sniff) She’s been counting down the days for this trip since February. And when I say counting down, I mean placing a sticker on a home-made calendar from my mom every day since the end of February. Seriously, she’s been so excited about this trip WITHOUT HER PARENTS OR SISTERS, and has been planning big. Her and auntie have lots of plans. They sound as though they involve all things mommy’s don’t do too much and should fulfill auntie’s job description pretty well. 
We’ll be hosting the Austin family for dinner tonight, which should be fun. They just suffered a loss in their family, and it’s about time for some good friend fun. Tomorrow, Brandon gets to go to the Dodger game.
Not just any ‘ol game, though… it will be held at the L.A. Coliseum, where the Dodgers first played after moving from Brooklyn. They are celebrating 50 years in Los Angeles. Needless to say, it’s kind of a once in a lifetime opportunity. Meanwhile, I’ll be participating in a concert to benefit the NextSteps Organization. This group helps to prepare foster kids for emancipation. This will be my third year involved. With the three big Easter services last weekend, and fighting off some kind of crud in my throat all week, I’m a bit worried about tomorrow’s performance, but rehearsal went well last night, so I’ll keep praying. Then another Sunday on praise team, and Abigail has rehearsal in the afternoon – if I don’t drop before then… Whew! Then one more week until our spring break. Ahhhh- can’t wait!
Have an excellent weekend.

Thank you for letting her come sissy! We are having a blast. I can remember when I got married I was so worried that Sarah and I wouldn’t be as close as I am with the other girls but I must say we definetly have a strong bond! She may be small but boy does she have a strong personality and she certainly has Uncle wrapped around her little finger! She asked him this morning if Auntie can buy her one toy from Target and he quickly answered, “Of course!”. So thanks again for letting her come. Mom’s been doing good at taking plenty of pictures. You’ll be proud.
