Thursday..

I'm so glad my cousin is doing ok. He was released from the hospital yesterday after a couple of rounds in the Hyperbaric Chamber and several days of recuperation. He was so close to the edge. It's so hard to comprehend that he was barely alive on Saturday, and now he is back home. Just to be safe, I got another carbon monoxide detector.

Amelie is officially walking. All over the place. And over everything. Tyler said tonight that she is always in 4WD. Trying to stomp over pillows and toys on the floor. Good thing we've got her in cloth diapers...all that extra padding when she falls on her butt. This kind of padding...

Look at her peeking and peering at me from under the table. She's so crazy.




Speaking of crazy, I was Wii swordfighting yesterday with the shades closed (so my neighbors couldn't see me) and I noticed a large truck/van pull up in front of the house. When I finished dominating the game and opened the shades, I realized there was a team of MPLS cops raiding my neighbors house. I'd say about 15 cops in bulletproof vests with very large guns came parading out of the house like clowns out of a little car. Some of them were uniformed and some had plain clothes. The took a bunch of guns (what looked like hunting rifles) and loaded them into the truck/van and were there all night taking pictures. We eventually saw them arrest him. I have no idea what was going on, but I sure am curious. This neighbor of mine brought us a bunch of fresh veggies from his garden when we moved in, and also raises chickens and sells the eggs to the neighborhood. Such a mystery!

Well, I've got yet another basket of laundry staring me in the face. Oh, and I made a pork roast with apple, raisin, onion and lemon relish with mashed sweet potatoes tonight. Gourmet!
