Today was a very busy day for us here in the Richter household. We got up and had some serious playing to do in our playroom. There were games of pet store, grocery store and restaurant. We finished off with some high energy dancing and lots of laughing while jumping on Daddy. Finally it was time for an early lunch so we could head out to Monarch Magic.
Monarch Magic was at our Metroparks. Maggie has been looking forward to it all summer and even the rain couldn't dampen our fun. Of course all the puddles the kids jumped in did dampen their clothes! We enjoyed a puppet show, some crafts and Maggie got new Monarch butterfly wings (and a magical wand). We had to race home so Maggie could get a snack and dry clothes before her first piano lesson. She LOVED it!! It was wonderful to see how proud she was and happy when she returned home. Not only does she get to learn piano (one of her favorite things) but she gets to spend time with her favorite guy (you guessed it - Daddy).
A quick dinner and Daddy had to leave for a bit. We settled in and got ready for bed. Maggie proudly taught me a thing or two she learned to day. We got Ricks to bed and made some pudding. Once Daddy came home, it was off to bed for Mags. The end of a very busy and exciting day!
We are still waiting for Ricks diabetes results and there is the emotion of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. I felt a tinge of emotion rushing through me today. There were moments of thankfulness, joy, concern and love. I had a few seconds cuddling Ricks when I said a prayer or two about his results. I remembered 10 years ago and thought of all those who lost someone. I said a prayer for each one and held my loved ones a bit closer. Lastly, I said a prayer of thanksgiving for my amazingly smart daughter (yes I will brag) and her fabulous Daddy. I hold close in my heart what an amazing father Rick is. He was as excited as her to spend time together in a passion they share - the piano. I believe this will be a gift to both of them and their relationship. At the end of the day, I kissed my husband and angels while my heart said a prayer of thanks again for it all.
