Big Girl Bed

Helaina has reached another milestone...a big girl bed! After her recent success in Valpo, Randy and I decided to capitalize on the timing. Since she's able to communicate well with us, we thought it was best to let her choose where she'd like to sleep. And like the "big girl" that she's becoming, her vote was for the "big girl" bed. After her haircut last Friday, her and I went on a mommy-daughter date to Target. She picked out a night stand and coordinating sheets for her comforter. And the verdict is in...SHE LOVES IT! We are so proud of you Helaina!

And the madness begins! Randy is set to travel to Traverse City, MI for the first of two weekend trips. Rookie training camp this weekend. Veterans training camp next weekend. A few short weeks later, the hockey season will be in full swing and his hours at work will multiply.

On a more serious note, our thoughts and prayers are with the McCrimmon and Salai families as the hockey world learned of their tragic death earlier this morning. Rusty Salai had a baby girl this past spring, just 1 month prior to the birth of Zachary, and now she'll never get the chance to know her daddy. So thankful this evening for every beautiful blessing God has given us.
