Mike pinned on his W3 today.  Hooray Mike!  =D  He's such a loving dad, wonderful husband and hardworking man.  I sure am proud for him.  He seems to be glowing, even while being humble about it all.  We love him to pieces around here.

Its the season of love and the nabor's dog spent the night at our front door... Try as he may, he's just too old, and Kitty's dissapointment has turned into sheer aggrivation.

We got Robert signed up for Soccer on Wednesday through Carthage AYSO, and one of the ladies who was signing us up asked if we'd be interested in softball as well.  So sports start May 13th and we will be excited to have Nana (Mike's mom) join us here to watch some softball, and maybe Sue will be able to catch some soccer.  That will be exciting.  At the sign up they asked if we would be able to coach, and where I was quick to say no, Mike was quick to say yes.  =)  What a guy!!  I have no idea what this entales, but perhaps in times where Mike can't be there I can see what I can do to help.  We can be like a tag-team.  =)

Grace is getting so big that she's actually sitting in Robert's old scooter thingy...  You know, the ones where kids get around on wheels, and- depending on who you ask- learn to walk.  I thought I would have to wrap blankets around her but, nope! 

I miss Virginia.  While we were there Mike said, "I love this place!"  I couldn't imagine Mike ever saying such a thing.  So if we had it our way I think we'd be living there.  Not to say that we weren't wishing for it this last PCS...  It will be nice having family nearby but Mike and I didn't weather this last winter very well; and rain/wind season isn't any fun either.

That's all the news that is the news.  Love you all.  -- KD

We were out to dinner last night, having a good ol' time- Robert and I were sharing a moment.  He struck up the conversation by commenting on how my "belly goes up and up and up." 
"(Do) you know what's in there?"  I ask him... Waiting for a response.  "It's your baby sister, Grace."
I don't quite remember how the whole thing went down- if I asked him if he'd like a sister or if he just thought of the response without cue.  But he says to me somewhat desperately, "No, not sister.  I don't want Candace!"
Now, to understand the humor in this you have to understand who Candace is.  In a cartoon Robert watches, Candace is the annoying older sister who is always trying to get her two younger brothers into trouble, it doesn't matter if their activity is extravagant or harmless.
I reassured him that his sister wouldn't be like Candace, but I don't know if he believed me.

BTW. I think we're thinking we might go with Grace Mae (Gracie Mae) Denny... 

Love to all,
KD
