I am bummed I have to go back to work tomorrow after a nice 3-day weekend.
Maddie and Faith were so funny, and wanted to shake Daddy's hand tonight before going up to bed. It was 'Remorial Day' and they kept saying "it is a day to honor soldiers." It was cute. Maddie has no memory whatsoever of the first 18 months of her life that were spent in Shreveport while Dan was at Barksdale AFB.
We went to Weaver's this morning to pick more strawberries. We are in love with their strawberries from the field; they are absolutely delicious. We had already finished what we had picked last week, and I really wanted to make a strawberry pie. So, the girlies had a blast picking with Dan. And, I was also excited that my strawberry pie came out well.
Today's anecdotes:

Cousins Tyler and Molly stopped over for a short while this afternoon, and they had a great time. Tyler accidentally knocked over the girlies' Playmobil dollhouse (their elaborate one with all their extreme 'set-up's), and so Maddie and Kyle became 'Team Rescue' and worked to rebuild it, which was quite a feat. During the process of putting it back together, Maddie told Kyle "This is awesome... actually, I'm being sarcastic." !!!!!!!! My girl put some new vocab to work, and yet it didn't quite come out sounding very polite. Haha!

On the way to Weaver's this morning, Faith was singing at the top of her lungs. Maddie was too, but Faith's song was absolutely hilarious. She was singing a 'love song.' It was a lovely song about a princess and prince falling in love, but this is how it ended: "and when he looked me into the eyes, he said 'what the heck you talking about?'" Dan and I couldn't stop laughing.

Our Abrie is our little pup these days. The girl goes to the back door, points, grunts, and whimpers. If you ask her, "do you want to go outside?" she nods her head like crazy and wants desperately for us to put on her shoes. She LOVES being outside with her little push toys.
