A belated good morning. Tim and I started out the day investigating netbooks since his laptop is dying. Then I took him with me to the Merrimack YMCA. Michelle took Claire to her high school for her last track meet of the year. Tim worked out in the Y's kid workout area while I took the Step and Abs class in the cardio studio.
As we were arriving at the Y, I finished up a call with my dad. He was about an hour shy of the Indiana/Ohio border on I-80 outside of Toledo. Crazy cross country driver that he is, he didn't stop until ~10pm last night.
In other news Daniel lost another tooth last night. This is his third tooth in the past month. He's got a hole-y smile these days. The primary front eight have been replaced for a while. These three are adjacent to those.
Dad made it safely back to Michigan. He'll do a bit around the house there and then press on to Chicago. That way he'll be in River Grove for Andrew's Confirmation on tomorrow morning.
Reviewed netbooks with Timothy. Setup Michelle with a Facebook account while Michelle took Abby and Daniel to dance class. So many friends and family who want to support her ask about whether she's on Facebook, so she figured she will if that's what's needed, she should. I picked up Claire from her last track meet for the year. Claire had a personal record today. Then I picked up Abby from her dance class while Michelle went to Church for Confession. Now it's time for 4pm Mass where Claire and Timothy are altar serving.
Went to 4 o'clock Mass. Timothy and Claire were the altar servers at this 1st Communion service. Afterwards we invited Sr. Marcelle to join us for a Mother's Day dinner. She then gave us a tour of where her order lives and the SHARE clothing shop. We brought the boys home while sister took the girls shopping.
Sr. Marcelle returned with the girls. They wanted to shop for a little something for Mother's Day. And in true "becoming my dad" form, I'd dozed off to sleep about ten minutes before she arrived. I let the boys stay up with their sisters to watch the new iCarly and then tucked the boys in bed with their prayers. Good night all!
“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.
If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own;
but because you do not belong to the world,
and I have chosen you out of the world,
the world hates you.” — John 15
