Most mornings, we get out for a long walk through the fields of alfalfa that surround our neighborhood. It's always refreshing to leave the noise of traffic behind and be alone with our thoughts and have an uninterrupted conversation. It's a great time to reflect on life and all of our blessings - or just to think about everything we gotta do when we get back home.
Highlights of our week:
This past week has been full as usual. Danny left for southern California for a few days for some scheduled interviews for residency programs. He is using our home as a 'sort-of' home base while interviewing in the western U.S. It's been really great to have him around again. We get him for one more week, then he heads back to Milwaukee.
Mary has started going to Special Needs Mutual lately. She really loves it - and getting out with her peers.
She's also enjoyed Danny being home since he fixes her lunches!
Jessica has been really busy with pit practice for the play, "Brigadoon", which is being performed by her high school. After several weeks of practice every day after school, the play opened this week for a one week show. After tonight, she'll get her life back - until club soccer starts!
Rachel started winter training for track this week. She was so sore for the first few days, she looked like an old woman trying to hobble around. On Friday, she ran a 3-mile race and took 3rd place! Not bad after only 1 week of training! We also had parent-teacher conferences, but we turned it into a 'Rachel & Mom' date by trying out the newest burger joint!

Dan and I were lucky enough to land 2 free tickets to "The Five Browns"! What a treat THAT was! They were simply ASTOUNDING! All I could say for hours afterwards was, "WOW!".

Life has been good to us. Walks in the fields helps us reconnect after going our separate ways each day. Talks about what's going on with the kids, with one another, or just having one of those great philosophical "discussions" keeps us in touch with each other.
