Today is Shannon and Kevin's 11th anniversary...seems like yesterday!

It also would have been my sister, Pat's 69th birthday...miss her sooo much!

Today Danielle called me...and gushed..."i'm so proud of Xander!" before she could get anything else out of her mouth...seems he came running into the house...to grab his bucket of fishing worms...and dani asked him what was going on....he said he had found a little pink bird....and it must be hungry....(very tiny bird...baby) when he got back downstairs...the teenage neighbor boys..were messing with it...in NOT a good way.....and xander stood up to them....and said they had to leave it alone...he would take care of it...they got the worms away from him and dumped them out..."let your birdie get it's OWN worms..." well he ran back into the house and grabbed a box to put it into...and told dad...dad came out with him and upon the teens seeing damien...they gave xander the bird...and told him.."here's your bird..." damien and xander rushed it to the wildlife perserve building...and they took the birdie in and said they'd keep xander posted...SO PROUD OF YOU XANDER...FOR HELPING THE HELPLESS...

I did a bit of sewing also...for Brynberlee Designs...testing one of her latest patterns...
