That's my boy!

Here ya go Dad (and everyone else who doesn't have facebook).


This was taken at Auburn's homecoming dance a few weeks ago. The little girl is John's "girlfriend;" they both go to the same sitter, and her mom works with Sharon (her parents also own a great little Italian restaurant over in Cambria called "Amelias" - everyone should check it out). The two of them are so funny and cute together - the night began with an extended "make out session" which consisted of John and or Adison either kissing each other or touching each other's noses, after which the other would run away giggling and then come running back. Not too long after we had the picture taken, we took them into the dance where they were little wild things. They always seem so excited to see each other, and it's good for John to have a little friend close to his age at the sitter to play with.

This will be a busy (and probably too fast) weekend. Auburn has it's last football game tonight, and the band is doing a "fun" show - they are teaming up with Floyd (the visiting band) and are performing "Thriller" with a dance break in the middle. I choreographed the dance with a little help from Michael Jackson - I'm available for hire if you would like a cheesy, marching-band, halftime dance. It's also my father-in-law's birthday, so we will probably have cake afterwords. This is a crazy birthday time of year - within a 2 1/2 week time span, my dad, my sister, Sharon's dad, and her brother all have birthdays.

Tomorrow we are leaving early to go to the Montpeiler hunt races. There are 5 horse races (I think) and Jack Russell Terrier races. Sharon was anxious to race Hokie this year, but I think I mananged to hold her off for a year or so :) Perhaps next year. Should be fun.

We could hardly find Halloween stuff in Target last night - the Christmas decorations have already commandeered the back portion of the store. After tonight, it will be all "Jingle Bells" and "Deck the Halls" (I think that most stores just forget about Thanksgiving).

When can I start hanging Christmas lights?
