Also from a June 7 email from CDF:
Here are MDF & CEF playing checkers one night. I think CEF wanted to eat the Care Bears more than she wanted to play with them.

CEF and Dixie
This is from an email CDF sent on June 7, 2007.
Hello all, well last night CEF was playing & inspecting Dixie, much like MDF used to do.
Looking at the camera together.
CEF going to meet Dixie.
Trying to meet Head to Head
SniffingCEF can’t decide if she wants to get up and crawl — Dixie on
the other hand has to smell her head to make sure they know each other…
Eye to eyeWho’s gonna win? Eye to eye contact –CEF was letting Dixie know she’s the boss!
They were really very cute together. Dixie has always been a very gentle and loving dog with our girls. I have questioned whether she would ever defend us…but she has been very protective of the girls when strange people come around the house.

What MDF Says…
The other week MDF had gotten sick while going to New Bern with CDF, and they had stopped and gotten her tums and a sprite. When she got home that night she told me that she had gotten some “green coke” today for her tummy.
Another funny thing: when CEF gets fussy and grumpy I’ll sometimes call her the “Tiny Tyrant.” One time when I was playing with MDF and CEF was scooting over, I called her the “Tiny Tornado of Doom.” MDF took those names and now calls her “The Tiny Tyrant Tornado of Doom” when she’s causing trouble.

Seven, Seven, Oh-Seven
Listening to the news this morning; hundreds of weddings have been planned for today, considered to be a lucky day for its date of course (07-07-07). I think it’s interesting enough to make a notebook entry, but I’m certainly not superstitious about it… and most marriages these days need less superstition and more hard work in the relationship.

July Fourth Celebration
Yesterday we celebrated the Fourth of July by going to a festival at North Side Baptist Church on North College Road. It was quite busy, but we went because they were advertising that they had 7 bouncy play sets (or whatever they are called).
MDF bounced in a couple to start with, then she wanted to try one with an obstacle course. There were two, but one was overrun with big kids, while the other one had a long line waiting. Still we decided to wait in line. As we waited and watched, I decided we had made a good choice, as it looked fun.
But when we were the next to go, MDF started hopping around and I realized she had to go to the bathroom. I asked if she could wait until after we went on the bouncy obstacle course, but she couldn’t. So we got out of line and went to the bathrooms. When she was done she wanted to get back in line, but we knew that we’d have to start at the back again — and we didn’t go to just stand in lines the whole time.
