The Recovery Money

Where did it go?

Well at least some of it went to a lot of non-existent congressional districts!

Thanks to my sister Margaret for pointing this link out to me. The organization that is talking about this has some guys I know, so check them out and link to them too! Evergreen Freedom Foundation

They're back!

I'm back from KS, and now C and T are back too! Yay! My mom and Margaret came down for a visit and they're enjoying baby T immensely!

My trips with Jeremiah went just fine - our flight left at an ungodly hour of the morning on Friday, but other than that the trip was fine. Jeremiah drew and drew and drew on both the flights out to KS and the flights back. He went through a dozen sheets of paper drawing stories of Star Wars, dragons, and battles. For me, I got done with 2 1/2 books. I think I'm going to be working on a series now that I've finished the first - Steven Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen series, first book being Gardens of the Moon.

The wedding was wonderful and there are far too many pictures floating around to do bother trying to put pictures here - head to Facebook and start searching around. My beautiful C was especially HOT in the bridesmaids dress. It turned out wonderuflly well, and was a wonderful tribute to the hours of effort put into the sewing project by C and friends.

The wedding went very well, as well as the preparations beforehand. D (the bride) didn't seem too crazily stressed out, I couldn't see any significant hitches with anything, and they wound up married so it MUST have been a success! D&G are off on their honeymoon and (very properly) have been absent from Facebook, Blogs, and Email. I think they're going to be coming back up for air just before Thanksgiving.

Jeremiah wasn't particularly interested in the wedding itself (he's a young boy, what do you expect) but thoroughly enjoyed playing with cousins and second cousins. For me, it was VERY good to see C and T again! I had another three days to wait until they came home after I got home, but that wasn't nearly as bad as the week before that I had to do without my ladies.

A fun part about the return - I was latching T in when I picked them up at the airport, and she was fussing a bit, having just woken up. As soon as she saw me, she stopped fussing an smiled and was all happy again! I wasn't even making faces at her or anything!!

Life is good.
