A rare moment..........

Last night I had a call from Madison. Bill has a great routine for the girls and they are both very busy with school, homework and activities so this doesn't happen often. When Bill was in Kosovo we had the pleasure of having the girls for overnights on the weekends while he was away. The weekends were filled with fun things to do, going to the library, going to church and "yes" even helping with homework. At bed time Kenzie, Madison and I would all take turns reading a book and then telling stories. McKenzie had the Madeline stories all but memorized. The best part for the girls though was telling stories and most times grandpa would chime in with his story of "Old Trusty". Last night, Madison asked for a story so I told her a story about a girl named Celina who wanted to dance hip hop and had to figure out what was more important dancing or school and all the possibilities that come with both. Needless to say Madison loved it! Because Celina realized her dream of becoming a dancer. I forgot how much fun it is to tell stories and how much I really enjoy them too.
