I'm very busy this week, attending a 4-day training to become ombudsman for Sean's command. (It's a volunteer position, I'm appointed by the commanding officer to act as the liaison between the command and the families.) The training is in the evenings, so Sean is getting to solo parent the older two girls through dinner and bedtime. He's already mentioned an invitation to golf this weekend, I think he's earned it!

Mary is doing well in piano, Monday the teacher introduced the concept of playing with both hands. Mary picked it up very quickly and is wowing us all with "Sonatina." It's also a welcome change from the "Lion King" and "Spirit" songs she loved to play.

Margaret continues to chatter away. The other day, I called her Mary as I often do (by accident). She replied, "Not Mary! I'm Margaret!" Too cute.

Meaghan is getting wiggly, this evening she managed to pivot 45 degrees while laying on her back. She does an amazing amount of abdominal crunches throughout the day, too.
