9/11

It's hard to believe it has been eight years to the day since the September 11th attacks on our country.  Aside from hanging an American flag outside the house today - and thinking about it from time to time - we didn't really do anything in particular to acknowledge the day itself.

Not that Madison would understand yet.  With her though, you can't help but wonder what the future holds in store for this country.

Today was a sick day for Mommy, so Daddy and Madison went off to work together.  Madison had a big hearty meal at the restaurant upstairs, but couldn't help herself when it came to the after dinner mints in a bowl downstairs.  Fortunately, they were sealed in plastic - otherwise, she would have eaten them all.  Daddy had to say no a couple times, but she was like an addict begging:  more mints please!

Mommy is much better now, though Daddy had to take a nap late this afternoon.  Tomorrow will be a busier day, with two big events:  a trip for Madison to the doctor's - and the Dragonboat Festival.

See you then!
