More memories...

I have a memory to share about dad on Father's day. I was thinking about this while I was running the other day.

He use to follow me in the car all the time in the high school.

On Saturday mornings in the summer my team would meet to go for a run. I left the house and dad was still out cold in the bedroom upstairs. I didn't think he was aware of my practice. I got to the designated meeting place with my team which was Desert Hills Middle school usually. We would decide where to run when we got there. We started and sure enough about 20 minutes into the run dad would drive by with the window rolled down and yell," Amy Blodgett!" He was trying to embarass me. My teammates thought it was hilarious. He would then proceed to drive ahead about 100 meters park on the side of the road and wait for us to pass. I would yell, "go home!" He continued with this routine for awhile. Then he left, probably to go get breakfast.
The only explaination I can come up with, for how he found me every time was that he would've had to have driven down different streets in search of us until he found us.

Another time in the summer, it was about 10 at night and I decided to go for a run. Since it was late and dark dad said he was going to follow me in the car. I ran a route around the rancho reata area and dad continued to pass by and watch over me enjoying the cool summer breeze in the sentra. I was almost to the bottom of reata road when a man emerged from one the streets. He stopped me and said, "there is a car that keeps turning around and following you." I told him that it was my dad. Dad noticed that a strange man was talking to me and as I passed by dad again he said, "who was that freak talking to you?" And I told him it was another man wondering who he was. Dad was protective and always watched out for his kids.

Please share any memories you might have. I enjoy reading them.

Love, Amy

Off she goes...

Evelyn isn't walking yet. But she likes to push this stroller. She just started doing this the other day. We thought it was cute. She took off really fast. Hopefully the video will work.

Easter and game

Ryan and Melanie, we've been thinking about you today.

I hope you are feeling peace and comfort.

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

We got tickets to the Yankees game last Saturday. They were close to the field, right behind home plate. It was raining on and off but there was a box behind the seats we could go behind glass that was warm. We were sitting there watching the game and a New Yorker who'd had a few yelled to Joseph, "You're tough kid!" in his New York accent. He also told me to "Get him a real Yankees hat." It was kids day inside the box and the kids got to be entertained by a balloon man and got their portraits done by a cartoonist. We had a lot of fun!

The rest of these were taken today.
