Here I go again...having to apologize for not posting. I wish I had some eloquent excuse, but I don't. Just summer-time blues. We've been busy riding bikes, going for nightly strolls, planting flowers and just enjoying the wonderful Eastern NM nights.
Brooke is doing good. We leave tomorrow for the Special Olympic state track meet in Albq. This is always fun. We're taking it a little slower this year and with more precautions. I am worried about all of the touching and hugging that special people do! I may have to hand gel Brooke every 2 minutes! But she misses her teammates and is looking forward to doing the "special O." (For those of you who don't know what that is...the athletes always stand up and put their arms in a big O over their heads and yell OOOOOOOOOOO...it's a standing O for ovation.) They get a kick out of it and it's become one of Brooke's trademarks. So much so that I have to email the head of SONM each year to remind her to be sure to do it. When she forgets...it crushes Brooke. It's cute. Opening ceremonies are tomorrow night at 7:00 and she competes at 8:00 Saturday morning. We go to Olympic Village at 10:00 where she plays with the Special Orchestra for as long as we let her. It's another favorite of hers. Then it's off to the SO gift tent to see what all we can buy this year. Last year it was a chair and a yellow stocking cap. You never know. It's a lot of fun overall!!!!
We went camping last weekend...Brooke's first time camping and her first time at Angel Fire. What a gorgeous place! How can anyone not believe in the wonders of God when seeing sights as pretty as that? WOW! If I ever find a spare million laying around the house - it will go to a second home there. It's my favorite spot in NM. Right outside of Angel Fire between Black Lake and the Moreno Valley. Brooke did well other than constantly worrying about the other 8 family members when they weren't in her immediate site. She worries. We slept in the trailor, which is as nice as any motel. Thank goodness for in-laws with nice toys!!!
10 days to Mickey Mouse...and yes, I'm very excited! And you know Brooke is!!! I have everything ready to go except for the packing list. I am really looking forward to my mom going...what a treat for her. After being a care-giver for my dad for so many years - she really deserves the magic that only Disney can offer. I am glad she is going with us.
Please pray for continued health for Brooke and for safe journies for us in our upcoming travels.
