My Saturday off!

The Mclains over at the house for a visit.

Wow...first Saturday off since I started! lol. I spent the day working on college stuff after sleeping in until 12:30 pm. (I haven't done that in forever...so I was allowed lol) But later Dad and I went to get some Chinese and then The Mclains came over for a nice night of chatting after a 5 hour bike ride!(Sofia's working off some of that baby fat! lol) Sofia woke up to visit and had fun in Kameron's old play chair and rocker. She loved the dinosaurs and farm animals. As far as my life personally goes...school is starting to cool down and a routine is setting in. College is a HUGE deal and it takes HUGE effort to get there so I'm getting so many opinions and pulls in different directions trying to go on the right path. But in the end it's not what everyone else wants me to do..it's what I want to do and what makes me happy for setting up my future. I just want to say thanks to the people who are understanding and helpful to what I'm about to get myself into. It's nice to have a shoulder to lean on.

Sofia and Mommy playing in the Dino chair!

She loved those toys!

This is Sofia watching the LSU game....so she says..."What do you mean LSU lost the fumble?"

A windy weekend!

The after-effects of Hurricane Ike hit up here in Ohio yesterday. The winds were gusting trees over onto cars, roofs were caving in, fires were roaring, telephone poles were in the streets. It was nuts! Personally, dad's house had no damage but many other houses here in the neighborhood had either shingle damage or trees fell in their yards. Missy and Kameron stayed with us for most the day and we tried flying kites but the wind beat them up a bit and either snapped the string or broke the kite itself.

We also celebrated my big sister's birthday on Saturday over at Ihop for a hearty breakfast. Sofia seems to enjoy the atmosphere and I believe that Ross and Tricia enjoyed themselves too. I hope she loves her present as much as I do!

And Saturday night after work, I went over to Missy and Kameron's house and visited for a while. We watched Ice Age and played a couple of games. It was a blast.
