Myrick and I had a girls' day together this past week. We did back-to-school shopping, got haircuts, had lunch out together, and just generally had a fun day. She helped pick out new shoes for Pender and while we were in a store, she jumped up and squealed when she saw a tee-shirt that had a train on the front of it. She begged me to buy it for Pender because she just knew he'd love it. In our whole day together, never once did she ask for anything for herself, so I was very touched that the one thing she did request was for her brother. Pender was overjoyed at his new tee and wanted to keep on wearing it even though it was a hot day and the shirt is long-sleeved!

Not sure how he got it under his eye...
