Update Part II

Paul’s Mom was thrilled to be working at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, MN. I can only imagine the energy in that building. I am thrilled to have a woman on the ticket who is a reformer. I for one am sick and tired of the "Do it like we've always done" way of government. Sarah has 5 children and is also a champion for children with special needs. We need a friend and advocate in the White House.

For Dad’s birthday on September 1st, he turned us down for going to dinner. So, we loaded up and went to visit Grandpa and Brenda. It was fun while we were there because as we were leaving the ice cream man spotted Paul and the kids going out the door. He then decided to park sit beside the street with his music blaring. You know what happened next. Yep…the kids said “Ice Cream!” Before leaving we finished our visit with a frosty treat! I am so glad to have Dad in my life. I cherish the time we spend together visiting or talking on the phone. I don’t think that a week goes by that he doesn’t tell me he loves me and how proud he is of me. I need that. I need for my parents to be proud of me. For so long, I felt like they weren’t. Cherish the time you have together because life is so very short.
