Pulling together

Yesterday was a day for the Davis family!  The biggest exclamation point goes to Emma with her smashed window.  Braeden is in London, which is great, but also hard on Anna and QE.  I remember those days and they weren't fun!  Mark was sick and Adam was in LA amidst protests.  According to him, the protests aren't as bad as portrayed in the news and (big surprise) are being politicized and amped up unnecessarily.  Americans can politicize just about everything though.  Our superpower....

Adam and I were trying to support Emma via text and she really did very well until the end of the day when the rental company was not actually going to bring her a rental car like they said.

(Guess who we love around here?  Rental car companies!)

She had a little come apart and I was having dinner with Janelle, so she called Mark.  He drove to Salt Lake and scooped her up and brought her home.  She took Adam's car back home.  

For my part I gave her chocolate and hugs and told her it was awful but figure-out-able.

Everything's going to be OK.

A delight of my day was story time with QE.  Yesterday I read to her and we cataloged the stuffed animals and reviewed all of their names.  

I told her that I had to go because I was meeting my friend for dinner.

She wanted to know the friend's name.

Then she said she wanted to come too.

Anna said, "That would be fun, but we have to say good-bye to Nana."

Sweet girl said, "But I want to."

And it's a good thing I'm not in charge because every time I hear her little voice wanting something I want to give it to her.  Here are the keys to my car and don't forget my credit card.

She is the bee's knees!  I'm grateful to have her in our family. Forever.

Amazing!

Everything about families is amazing.  It is wonderful that you can rely on people who know your foibles and inside jokes and can pick up the slack when you need them.

And then you have a granddaughter who is just the icing on every cake and adds so much goodness to the mix.

What a great system!
