1.  We did normal school today, even though Melissa was here.  She said she didn't mind, and maybe she really didn't since she came here straight from staying for 3 weeks at a Kentucky hospital with her critically ill mother, and she said what she really needed was some time to relax and take a nap and having nothing to do.  Wish granted!  She got to observe our routine of lessons and practicing and piano lessons.  I've decided that the key to having a well-oiled school routine around here is to have a non-related observer.  Seriously, the boys were so good and did their work so happily.  It was great.

2.  Melissa's husband Glenn flew in to Austin tonight, so the boys and I picked up Ben from work and had dinner with Melissa and Glenn at Threadgills before they had to drive down to San Antonio.  Mosey took a look at the children's menu, then looked at the regular menu, and promptly informed Ben and I that he wanted the sirloin steak.  This kid's got expensive tastes.  :-)  Ben and Glenn are just as good friends as Melissa and I are, and it was so good to spend time with them again.  I hated saying goodbye to them.

3.  Somehow I managed to forget to take a single picture with Melissa here.  :-(
