I’m ready for her father to come home, though that won’t happen until 6:30 at the earliest. Fortunately, I made a ham and bean soup a couple days ago, and that plus the bread will be dinner tonight. Also today, I showed Bean two 30-second videos I made of her, and she was riveted. The one of her laughing especially got a smile and a giggle out of her.<\/p>\n
How has your day been?<\/p>\n
