An excellent weekend...

Dear Nicky,

Things have been going well this whole weekend, since Thursday night actually. Good food, good times, etc. Yesterday we had a bunch of your Stones friends and their parents over in the afternoon. Everybody had a nice time and they all stayed four hours; if not for a sudden downpour, they'd have probably stayed longer. There were snacks and drinks and pizza. I broke out all the toys and the sandbox and water toys. It was a chore to clean the yard and set everything up, and it was really hot too, but it turned out nice. Also you specifically said you had to go poopy on the potty and you did. This is great news. Furthermore, Junie's been doing well this weekend too regarding potty training. So, huzzah! This morning Mom and I ran the childcare room at church. It felt like we were suspended in liquid gravity time or something, I thought it would never end. But it was totally fine. This afternoon it hailed like crazy and made quite a mess. The Subaru was unscathed in the garage, and the Honda was in the B&N parking lot in Livingston, so it was fine too. There was another thunderstorm just when you were going to sleep, which prolonged your nod-off, but I held you till you said "I'm okay now."

Love,
Dad
