Really Fun Day!

Tonight Kate and I were talking about all the fun things that we got to do today and we decided that it had been a really fun day. We started out this morning bright and early by Kate going to the dentist. She hadn't been for a year, but she had a really great experience. We went to a really fun pediatric dentist office that had a great kid waiting area, tvs on the ceilings, great decorations, and a really nice dentist. She is a no cavity kid and she was "really brave". Kate told me that when I go to the dentist that I need to be really brave too.


Then we met Dave and Grandma J for lunch at Hires Big H and had some yummy hamburgers, fries, and root beer. I really better exercise tomorrow. Too bad I can't go running since my ankle is still hurting and swollen. It started hurting two weeks ago while I was running and I haven't been able to go running since then. I don't know what's going on. The podiatrist couldn't see anything bad on the x-ray. Anyway...

Tonight we had some great friends, Brent and Elise, who were visiting from NM over for dinner. The kids all had so much fun playing together. There was lots of dressing up and playing basketball too. We've missed them and are glad that they stopped by to see us on their vacation. We took this picture last year while Ashley, Kate and Annika were playing.

This morning Dave and I got up at 5:00. That's our new goal to get up early so Dave can be more productive on his dissertation. It was so nice! I exercised, showered, actually did my hair, and mopped the bathroom and kitchen floors before the kids woke up. It was great! It wasn't even that hard to get up that early. Once I actually get out of bed it's not too bad. We'll see what I think tomorrow at 5 am though.
