1,000 Thanks!

Rylee and I celebrated the 1,000th visitor to our blog by going to the park yesterday afternoon. Thank you for visiting and for sharing our lives with us. We hope this blog continues to make you smile as much as the swings made Rylee smile!

She looks so happy!! Bracken loves her hat. I think a new swingset may be in her very near future. She is so cute! Give her kisses.

Advice for Roo

Because I believe in Premonitions (don’t ask!), I’m keeping a running log of tidbits and advice for Rylee -- things I feel it’s important to impart to her. I’ll add to the list as ideas come to me –

Defend yourself and your ideals. Be respectful, but speak your mind.

Play in the rain. Jump in the puddles.

Help lost puppies find their way home. You never know when you'll need a stranger to help you find your way.

Never lose your courage. Show no fear.

"Just a Steel Town Girl on a Saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life..."

Watch black and white films.

Read Shakespeare.

Marry someone your Dad likes.

Pets aren’t friends, they’re relatives (I think you already understand that!)

Accessories make an outfit.

Embrace individuality.

Celebrate your gifts.

It’s ok to read trashy tabloids.

Dance when you’re happy. Cry when you’re sad. Shout when you’re angry.

Keep your heart and mind open to all opportunities.

Broken hearts heal.

Think before you speak. You can’t always take things back. Once they’re out. They’re out.

Why listen to lullabies? We don’t.

You changed everything. Never forget that you made a difference in the world the second you were born.

Several things make your Mom truly happy. Your laugh. Well worn jeans. A hot Starbucks latte. Unexpected 80s movies on cable. Cuddling with your Dad on Sundays. Fall.
