He loves me!

Sam came home and surprised me yesterday with a potted African Violet! I love African Violets. He said he didn't know which to get, an African Violet or an orchid. I told him that I like them both about the same, but that to me, orchids are far more temperamental. Anyway, I was pretty surprised and had a big ole smile on my face for the evening. Now I get to go and pick out a pot for it. Exciting!

Braden's knock on the head is healing just fine. As far as I can tell, the towel precaution was unnecessary, though I'm glad we did it just in case. The bump will probably take a few days to go all the way down, but he doesn't seem the worse for wear and is playing like nothing happened. He even got on his bike again a little bit after the incident and yesterday rode it quite a bit.

I ordered Sam's dancing shoes and am very excited... I didn't order me another pair just yet. I'm going to wait and just use the ones I have for now and then later get another pair. I have my eye on a ballroom practice skirt that would do double duty for church and date occasions as well as allow us the opportunity to go to church one Sunday in a Mennonite community not far from here. I have one skirt and it is knee length and apparently not appropriate for that occasion.:) I don't wear it very often anyway. I'm usually in pants of some sort, but that wouldn't do either. I'll talk more about that later. Gotta go feed my brood now...
