Patience is not about how long someone can wait... It's about how well they behave while they wait.

There was a boy....

Ok, technically there still is a boy... named Aaron, who is a good friend of Randa's and an 8th grader. They ride the same bus, and today after school he 'came a callin'.

Myranda and Ben waited out at the end of the driveway.


I was too slow with the camera when he arrived, and then I didn't want to embarrass Myranda by flashing pictures in his face, but when it was time for him to head home, David got some stealth shots.... Yes, he rode his dirt bike here by himself. He lives about a ten- fifteen minute drive away.



Sooo, there it is. The first "Gentleman caller"... I don't know how this happened. But it does ease my mind to remember that after cookies and soda the three kids had a loud fun time building a cardboard box fort in Ben's room and playing catch outside. So, maybe, just maybe I still have my little girl for a little longer.

Wow that's a serious dirt bike! Just don't show him the picture of Myranda on Dad's motorcycle with that leather jacket! Love the stealth pictures by Dave, I'm still laughing at Dave hiding in the bushes! Please keep us posted on the boy!!

lol, well it wasn't really the bushes, it was back at the front door.

Haha but sneaking in bushes is funnier so I will have to continue to picture that!

Oh, now it really begins. But there is a grace period for at least a little while longer. Start loading up on sleep and and rehearsing those 'spontaneous' words of wisdom that will be used in the near future. You'll survive, think tsunami preparation.
