Howdy

Here we are, at the parents again, our sweet home away from home. Today was a crazy day for us. Thanks to the lovely phone company for accidentally disconnecting our phone and not connecting it on Friday, we have to walk or drive over here whenever we need to use the phone. So on top of no TV or internet, we have no phone! I am really not into this whole Amish business. We took the kids to a Children's Expo this morning, which was a lot of fun. James go to sit in a firetruck, see the K-9 unit, make crafts, and get all kids of free stuff like stickers and waterbottles. I even scored a bookmark that says 'Drink milk, not alchohol.' I am sure that is effective with the teenage set. There was also a petting zoo and a guy with wierd animals, including a skunk perched on his shoulder. I am assuming that the stink had been removed. It was so fun to watch James observe all the fun 'boy' things. He was especially intrigued by the chainsaws on the firetrucks. Katie just hung out in the backpack and watched everything. Hopefully we'll be able to go again next year.
