 On July 21, we went to Buffalo Trace Park in Harrison County, Indiana. It's about a 30 minute drive from downtown Louisville - roughly as far away as Huber's. The turnoff sneaks up on you so be careful. We had to turn around and go back.

 The party was Sunday August 31 starting at 10:30. Although her actual birthday was a few weeks ago, we put it off until this weekend so Peter could get through several tough work weeks that included weekend code moves.

If I had my child to raise all over again, I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later. I'd finger-paint more, and point the finger less. I would do less correcting and more connecting. I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes. I'd take more hikes and fly more kites. I'd stop playing serious, and seriously play. I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars. I'd do more hugging and less tugging.
Diane Loomans, from "If I Had My Child To Raise Over Again"
