Good morning! Good luck in your efforts to reach family members. Your comments on listening to me at work made me smile. There's about four calls combined in your written summary. I did appreciate knowing you were reaching out. Monday mornings are always very busy.
Tuesday evening we were home enjoying the dog. Your father played a video of another German Shepherd howling at the television, on which was a third shepherd barking. Wagner kept looking around for the dogs, zeroing in on possible creatures, such as the window the iPad, the computer, the speaker. His ear turning and head tilting were funny. But we couldn't get him to speak. I want him to speak on command. They pulled out the clarinet, the trumpet, the recorder. The closest we got him to speak was when Sawyer howled in his face. Good times in the kitchen.
The Orton Family
Your brothers are heavily invested in the March Madness Tournament. They are a delight to watch as they negotiate over their brackets, and watch the games. I was not able to enter the tournament this year, even after multiple attempts, but will be back year, with you. Luke was invited last year post tourney, and has joined us this year, much to the delight of his cousins. They've figured out multiple ways, using multiple accounts, multiple devices, multiple browsers, to watch in four hour spurts. Sawyer found out last night his school entry had him tied in 2nd place.

Remember my wallet being stolen Thanksgiving morning? Remember my telling you about finding a red car behind Bentwater in the trailer park? Maybe I didn't tell you that part. Sawyer took a picture of the car while I was driving. I tried to do it by myself but it was too blurry. And I passed along the information to the detective. When I ran the plate at work it was registered to a Camaro, which it was not. I was hoping the detective would follow up. I guess he did. The detective from Benbrook Police called to say they have filed charges and obtained a felony arrest warrant. The registered owners' pictures match the pictures on Walmart cameras. Thank you very much. Nothing like solving a multi city crime spree. Case closed!
We were in a store, trying to purchase a suit for Cooper, when he remembered to give me the message. The store had 40% off purchases with the opening of a card, which I was going to do, and then cancel, but the card wasn't approved. Silly me. I forgot I froze my credit line. The retail cashier was able to give me discounts here and there, which was helpful. Cooper's birthday suit, literally, is for his mission, but most recently for prom in April.
The first day of spring breezed through this week. In preparation for rain that was to come, we spent the day doing a little yard work. I mowed for the first time, Cooper did a little weed whipping, Sawyer and Miller cleaned up from the dog. We changed our furnace filter, air filters in the cars. One of those kinds of days. Dad went on to LONG walks. The boys placed KanJam. Miller had his first baseball game. He spent the game on first, and had a lot of outs. His team was down by a few, and his last at bats he hit an in the park home run, getting two other batters home, which was enough for them to pull ahead by one.
Worthy to mention is Cooper's tennis match this week. He played in Arlington, the same day Dad was touring the new Ranger's stadium being built in Arlington. There were a LOT of teams, and his first game was against the duo that won the entire tournament. With one loss, they battled their way through every team that was put in the consolation bracket, and came home with first place in that bracket. And a big sunburn.
Love,
Mom and Dad
