Dear Diary

Last night, the girls got an extra special treat at story time. Instead of reading a book, Dad chose a diary out of his drawer and read a few pages here and there.

The diary was from the summer of 2002 - when Olivia was yet to be born and Emily was five, Lauren was three and Julia was two.

The girls thought the funny parts were passages that detailed who wet their pants or a fun excursion they still recall. There are even some newspaper clippings included within (the front page of the Omaha World-Herald on Sept. 11, 2002). References to sports are aplenty - Nebraska in the College World Series, Lance Armstrong winning the Tour de France - and it seems like we spent an awful lot of time at the swimming pool that summer.

Mom made a comment that she wished Dad was still writing diary entries today. Ahem. Isn't this the same thing?
