Katie is 6 now. She had a birthday at the end of May. My parents and grandpa were here and we went to the Mall of America and rode some rides. The kids had a lot of fun. We also had a little party in the back yard with some of her friends.

I bought a paper journal for the first time in a long time. I thought it might be nice to have a hobby I could practice away from the computer. It might help me organize my thoughts a bit and be relaxing, hopefully therapeutic, as well. I will continue to blog, though I know I have not been very good about updating, as it is!

We had a bit of a problem with discussions about Santa, recently, between Katie and the neighbor kids, who believe. She told them Santa wasn't real. Oops! I talked to her about it and she agreed to not say as much about it next time, but she mentioned it again today. :-o She said she forgot and I believe her. I'm stressing to her the importance of allowing their family to participate in those traditions, but I am not responsible for her behavior, either. I'm doing all I can by reminding her. Hopefully, she will remember next time.

I wish I could take a looong nap! Maybe Luke will nap in a bit. That would be nice!

I'm going to end now. I hope you all are having a good week!
