Part Deux...After the Movie



Look out! There's an almost 1-year-old on the stairs! :) Maddie has so much fun climbing the stairs that every once in a while (actually, about twice a day), we let her "sneak" past the baby gate and climb the stairs. Her favorite game is pretending that we are trying to catch her but she's to fast for us. The only problem is that she starts laughing so hard that when she turns around to make sure we're chasing her, she loses her balance and tips backwards. Good thing we're always part of that game, huh?
Well, in adult news, Mike had a birthday today. We went to a casino where we pretty much only played roulette. Every single hand, we put at least one chip on the number that was Mike's age, and it didn't win a SINGLE time! Luckily, our other picks did, and we ended up positive $30 and two free buffets (I scored those from a worker named Jesus who was telling me to stop taking pictures in the casino. I took that opportunity to first apologize, and next proudly announce that it was Mike's birthday while pointing out his youthful looks.) Mike loves me for my talent in drawing attention to him. Needless to say, we had a really great time, and ended the night fondly remembering how fun dates are. Hopefully we'll get some more of those. :)
Sadly, we also watched U of South Carolina lose their bowl game while we were at the casino. Luckily, we did not bet on that game. ;-)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!

Great Job, Jenny. Sounds like your day celebrating Mike's BD was fun and your write up made me chuckle. I still think you should write a book! Hugs to all of you!

I couldn't agree more - your writing has always been entertaining and enjoyable. Of course the subject matter is THE BEST! Love that "excited breathing" picture. Also glad to witness she has her Uncle Ken's "dance moves" :)

Maddie is quite the champion stair crawler......particularly as she has to deal with that skirt!
