Only 58 days til my birthday- YEAH!
Got your message tonite- maybe I'll have Cass call Claire tomorrow after school.
Oh- I also got the flight info- that's so exciting.
Goodnight!

Yes, Claire was a little bummed last night when I told her there was no answer at your house. I explained to her that it's been a busy week for the Tarpey family.

The girls are excited about flying out to see Chicago and Indianapolis. I heard rumor that cicadas will reach from the east coast through Indiana this season. It could be a real "gross out" experience for the girls. I don't think cicadas reach north of New York. I haven't seen them since I was a kid.

Dad gave me a brief rundown on Wednesday's funeral. Sounded extremely formal, respectful, and solemn (not that any funeral is a party). A horse drawn hearse going from the church to the burial. I've never seen that before! When I heard the news last weekend I was strongly tempted to fly out. But then I remembered that would involve leaving Michelle with all the kids and quickly ruled it out.

Got to go for now. Talk to you this weekend. Hope you enjoy the photos I mailed you.

Way to go Daniel- You are a SUPER DOOPER POOPER!

When are you going to update the site?

Well, not exactly a pooper. But yes, he did run to the potty three times this morning and peed. But about an hour ago he peed on the floor. Thank goodness it's a wooden floor and is easy to cleanup.

The thing that's difficult at the moment is to convince him to _not_ wait until he's ready to burst. I'm sure the floor incident was just mother nature catching him unaware. But he had been on the toilet recently and would _not_ go despite our pleadings. (We knew it had been several hours and that he must have had to go)

Up until today, there hasn't been too much going on. I'd be glad to add you as an author if you ever get an itch to do a little diary style writing....
