Happy Birthday, Meghan!
Although it's technically not her birthday any more I have to wish my baby girl a happy 27th birthday. (Ouch)
I have no idea where the time has gone, it seems like she was just a little chubby, rosy-cheeked toddler and now she's 27 years old! I have to admit there were days during those teenage years that felt like an eternity, but overall the time has flown by! Happy birthday Miss Magoo!
When I think of her actual birth day, the part I always remember is calling my grandparents at 6:30 in the morning to tell them they were first-time great-grandparents and my grandma being so thrilled because she could hear Meg crying in the background. Grandpa only lived a couple of months after she was born and of course grandma has passed away since, so it's a bittersweet memory to be sure, but it's the memory that sticks out most in my mind. That, and my mom not being able to focus the camera. I don't think I have more than a couple pictures that were actually clear! Those were the days before auto-focusing 35-mm digital cameras and I don't think she'd ever used a 35-mm before!
Note to Gallaudet: Can you hurry up with those acceptance letters? We're getting tired of waiting.

Ruger's favorite part of the party
Steve let Sophie out - that's her in the picture, and he found out why Ruger didn't want to come in earlier. He found the after birthday party garbage!
Think warm thoughts
I'm thinking warm thoughts and it doesn't seem to be doing much good. At least we weren't about 150 miles north of here - they got 12" and it sure didn't all melt during the day. It kept snowing here too, but we were "warm" enough to escape any accumulation. Figuratively speaking, of course.

More pics from tonight...

Meg in a borrowed hat, isn't she cute?
Meg with dad and mom.Moby Dick - A Whale of a Tale
Meg got to be one of the translators for the first act of "Moby Dick - A Whale of a Tale" at Iowa Western Community College tonight. That's a LOT of freaking work and she did a great job!
I'm not even going into the story, but it was fun! I'm glad we went, and the performance was better than I expected!Steve's New Truck
Well, here it is. The long-awaited new truck. Notice that the in-transits expire on our anniversary. I guess I know what I'm getting. A ride in the newly licensed truck.
