Tony

Orange County Fair, Tony, Olivia & Josh
Anna & Tony

Anna came home from her second day of school and was crying because at lunch she said she ate alone. It absolutely broke my heart, she said the table her friends were at was full. Many of her friends left this year to the Charter school. So I heard Tony in the other room talking to her, telling her how when he was her age he moved to Australia and didn't know anyone. He told her he didn't even know where the playground was but within a few weeks he had friends and so will she. Anna just calmed right down it was so nice to see....so nice to see this side of my husband that most people don't know exist. He tries to keep it a secret but he is a fantastic Dad.

Oh, I hate seeing my kids go through tough times, just want to protect them.

CRYING! On both counts, can't bear the thought of Anna sat on her own and then Tony being so lovely with her. That's my bro though would always just be a little quiet one on one but I remember each time vividly Hayley x xxx

She will be a better person for it. The next time the table is full and someone else has to go sit alone, she will either make room or go sit with them. Poor baby.
