* This morning, after Charlotte watched Matt leave for work, she said to me, "That Daddy.  He's my favorite friend and I love him."

* The last two mornings Charlotte has been setting up her keyboard (one of my old non-working keyboards) and her magnadoodle thing on the coffee table and bringing her chair over, so she could work on her computer while I worked on mine.

* We went to the beach.  While I do love the ocean, it is far away.  Sandy-bottoom lakes are also pretty awesome (and Matt prefers them).  Charlotte had an amazing time.  She talked to some other kids, swam, and got to dig, dig, dig.  The picnic lunch was pretty fun, too.  We only stayed for 2 hours, because we were all a little sunned out.  Charlotte was exhausted and nearly fell asleep in her lunch.  We will definitely go back there again.

* This weekend is Jen's birthday spectacular, and Charlotte will be spending the weekend with her grandparents.  I'm sure she's going to have a good time, but I'm gonna miss her.
