Granddaughter – Victoria Rose Leavitt was born on Friday, January 25th at 3:41pm at the
Last night I was going to a yearly home schooling meeting. There were 5 of us from Magnolia area and we drove together. We chatted about school and kids and all the challenges and joys of both. We arrived a little early and were pulling into a parking spot when one of the women said “Oh my gosh, that man just broke a car window!” and he had. He grabbed a package; something then looked straight at us and then jumped in a car and took off. One of the women said “get the license plate” as another Sister called 911. As Grace was talking to the dispatcher we saw a Security car drive by. Marie Gossling, who is incredible and probably weighs 95 lbs. wringing wet reversed her big 8 passenger van and zoomed after the Security guard. We chased him around a Target parking lot until he finally stopped and we told him what happened. We told him we would follow him over and gave him a description of the thief, their car and license number and approximately when this had happened. He told us that probably the thief had stolen a laptop computer bag or something that was on the back seat.
We drove back to the hotel and then got a little concerned because Marie’s van in highly recognizable and it was very dark. So, as we start to get out of the van a black sport car pulled up beside us and freaked us all out! Luckily, it was fellow home schoolers and we walked into the hotel with them. What was so funny is afterward Marie said ”ok, Ladies lets see your power walk” so that we wouldn’t look like victims if someone was watching. It was an interesting and rather exciting night.
Oh, and after a horribly rainy, drab, cold week we have a beautiful blue sky and warm weather. It is a good thing we live in

You are solving crime! Way to go. What a crazy night. Did you learn a lot about home schooling? When are you going to see little Victoria? We need to change the name from the Ball farm to the Ball Zoo. So many animals. Better you than me! Love you
