I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. I'm always mad when other people haven't updated their blogs ... then I look at mine and it has been almost two weeks! We've been up to a whole lot of nothing but Megan is giving me a run for my money. She's really crawling around now, still half army-crawling and half real crawl and sometimes she does this one leg up scoochy crawl that looks really funny. No matter how she does it, she certainly doesn't sit still for long. Now she's pulling up on everything. The furniture, the fireplace, me, the dog. She doesn't care what it is, she just wants to stand up. We finally installed the gate at the base of the stairs and installed some cabinet locks in our kitchen. I don't know what else will have to be done to childproof the house but I'm sure Megan will find everything we forgot!!
We've had lots of fun lately. We had some friends in town from Houston two weekends ago. The guys went to some driving range Friday night while the girls and kids all got together for pizza. It was a lot of fun but to those without kids it could have been considered birth control!! Saturday night was more just hanging out with friends. It was a fun weekend!! We pretty much took it easy this past weekend too. James was off on Friday and we went out to eat lunch at a place called Babe's Chicken! It's not for the diet conscious but it was really good. You order your meat (fried chicken, chicken tenders, chicken fried steak, fried catfish, or smoked chicken) and they bring out the sides family style (green beans, corn, mashed potatoes, biscuits, and a whole bowl of gravy) and we also ordered a salad. It was YUMMY but we had to be rolled out of there! After that we finally got new cell phones. We'd had our phones since we moved up here and they were all funky and old. I finally got my Blackberry and I love it. It's still much smarter than I am so I have lots of learning to do to figure out what all it can do but I think I'm really going to enjoy having it! And it's pink and so cute! :-) Saturday night Christy and Larry had a babysitter and were trying to celebrate their anniversary (10 YEARS - WOW) so they came over after dinner and had a few beers with us. We are so boring!! We didn't have plans to do anything this weekend. Yesterday we loaded up a borrowed pick-up truck like Sanford and Son and headed down to my brother's place. He's moving today (Monday) and we gave him a bed and nightstand along with my mom's dinette set and a donated rocking chair from my mom's neighbors. He's renting a 3 bedroom house and moving from a one bedroom condo means he'll have lots of room to fill! We're happy to get rid of the bed. It was in the second upstairs bedroom and we might be needing that room sometime soon. ;-) After we had lunch at Snuffer's (mmmm .. cheddar fries) James and I went to the outlet mall to give a quick boost to the economy. That place was crazy crowded!! I guess maybe back to school shoppers were already out there? Such a great weekend. I'm on my own the next couple of days. My mom is helping my brother move and James will be at work ... with a quick trip out to So Cal for a night.
Well, since Megan is trying to climb my boot I suppose I should go make sure she doesn't fall over and crack her head open!

My thoughts EXACTLY!! :-D I feel like there is SO much going on in the summer it is hard to sit down and really blog about it, usually I have to just hit the highlights or make a list! It is always great to get an update from you though, even if it takes you a little while to get to it! :-)
WOW 10 years since Christy's wedding!!! I remember that one well! What a fun time! It was my/Ben's first wedding to go to after getting engaged actually! I can't wait to live closer to y'all again so we can all get together!! :-)
Summer is busy. That is great that Megan is becoming more mobile! I am sure that makes it extra hard to get anything done though!!
