Happy Valentine's Day!!

What a fun day-my dentist office rents out a local skating rink and invites all the kid patients to attend a skating party! My niece is a patient and so she couldn't wait to go to "MeMe's Skating Party". I swore I wasn't going to skate but when she looked up at me with those big blue eyes, what was I to do when she asked me where my skates were???
She did so great-we skated on the carpet for quite some time actually and finally made it out on the rink. You know how skating (especially if you aren't any good) makes you feel a little wobbly and unsteady? Well, every time this would happen to Abby, she would get so mad, throw her fists down, and say, "MeMe, STOP TRIPPING ME!!" I couldn't stop laughing each time she said this because she honestly thought I was tripping her and making her fall. Thankfully, I always had her by the arm and so if and when she did fall, it was VERY lightly! We had SOOO much fun-even though I don't think that we even made 1 full lap around the rink! Oh well, maybe next Valentine's Day!!

How fun! We have yet to take Mary Alice skating. After hearing your adventures with Abby, we might just wait another year or so.

This has nothing to do with your blog...but just heard on Etv news that Michael Vartan will be back for the last 6 episodes of Alias. Said he probably would not a memory or a ghost. Thought you'd want to know.
By the way...when Kate asks to go roller skating, I know who to call.
