Happy Birthday, Dad! If he lived in a place with decent weather, he'd be able to get in a good round of golf. Instead, he might have to put on the parka and go out and plug the car in.

After I dropped the kids off at Sue's house, I headed for the freeway onramp, and just before that a rooster pheasant ran across the road in front of me. I don't think I've seen any pheasants since moving here.

As we were having breakfast, Hanna asked "where's Lady?" and then said "I'll find it." She does that sometimes now, and she'll go and find whatever it was. Except, since we were eating, she just reached out her hands and pretended to find it, then giggled.

Last night Ramsey put up a shelf in John's room, and John saw the drill and started rummaging in his closet. He wanted his little toy drill. That little bugger, he hadn't played with that drill for awhile, but he remembered it was kept in the closet!

We did nursery last night. Sigh. A zoo, I think we had 13 or 14 kids, was hard to count them all what with all the running around. It's really supposed to be for 2 and under, but we had some up to 5 yrs old. We wanted the parents to be able to enjoy the talk, and some were visitors, but it doesn't work to have the older kids in with the younger ones. They're too big and run around and its too easy for the little ones to get run over or something. We didn't have any injuries, but oh well. That'll make up for the times we never had any kids to watch in nursery.
