Just Tryin' To Help!

I found these picture looking through some old emails tonight. Rachel and I were on vacation (with Rachel's parents) in Gulf Shores, AL. A guy caught this shark when we were walking by and was struggling to lift him out of the water and over the wall. My father in law and wife thought I was nuts when I offered to help him. We pulled the shark over the wall and it began to squirm around on the sidewalk.

The fisherman eventually killed the shark and drug it back to his truck bed. I assumed he had "shark filet" for dinner...which I've had and I didn't like it!

My "American Girl"

Abbey, Rachel and I stopped in Chicago a few weeks ago on our way home from St. Louis. We took Abbey to the American Girl Doll Headquarters on Michigan Avenue. We had a blast! Abbey had actually been saving her money and wouldn't you know she had "exactly enough" to buy one doll! I wouldn't trade these memories I'm making with Abbey for all the money in the world.

The Mastercard commercial really got it right when they advertised the fact that memories are "priceless."
