CALVERT UPDATE

What's been going on with the Calverts? Well, let's see. We had a bbq cookoff two weeks ago in Dumas. Seventeen teams entered and we had a great time. Tomorrow we leave for Salado, TX to witness the two most wonderful people unite in marriage. Cody and Leah Leifer could not be more perfect for one another and we are so excited for them. We are planning a Preakness Party to root for Mine That Bird as my brother and Justin picked him to win last Saturday. Charles and I both know he picked the horse but J was lucky enough to ride the 50 to 1 gravy train. Sunday we went golfing with friends. BB and Acie had their own little clubs and ran all over the place. It was really a lot of fun. Justin has been super busy with insurance and corn seed and being a great dad. I have been working really hard on the online newspaper and spending as much time with BB as possible. I made my very own pizza dough recently. It was quite delicious I must admit.

Oh, and speaking of the smallest little Calvert. What has she been up to? Let's just say I'm calling it the 'don't turn your back stage'. She can turn on water and climb in chairs and twist off lids these days. She is speaking in full sentences now and can pretty much say anything: BB's applejuice, Where'd it go, I scared, It's broken, and I love you to name a few. She picks out want she wants to wear and tells me what she wants to eat. She can take off in a full run and is literally all over the place. She loves ladybugs and being outside and taking baths. She can count to three in order and knows her numbers to ten. She says prayers before we eat and can put on her own shoes. She loves tea parties and reading books. We dance a lot and watch Sesame Street in the morning. She calls my brother Uncle and Justin's brother Daddy. She is an absolute joy. An absolute challenge. An absolute blessing. We haven't had the swine flu yet and other than BB putting my camera in the bathtub, I'd say life is pretty dang good.
