Out of the blue at dinner, Ellie said, “Mom, you are a genius!”
Ryan didn’t miss a beat, “So says the 3 year old…” and then,”…but you have to get your accolades somewhere.”
I will happily take her compliment. What a great kid – she gives the best hugs too!


She is a great kid..You are a genius and you ALL give good hugs…Love reading your blog…MIMI
