A little somethin'-somethin' for the peeps...

Well, both the girls are sleeping and I am busy "watching" the Tigers blow their game so I figured I might as well do something constructive.

Maddie is getting bigger by the day. Gained a pound and 3 inches at our last doctor's appointment. Some days are better than others. We sleep really well at night, it's just getting there that has been the major hang up. But for every hissy fit we throw, there are equally as many sweet moments when she just hangs out and stares at you and the world with those deep wondering eyes.

We took a few trips as a family this week, if you can call a run to Wal-Mart a trip. Ran across one young man there who was very subtly looking to purchase some, uh...protection. Of course as we passed by the aisle he turned several shades of red. Being the compassionate persons we are, we couldn't help but burst out in laughter as we stood in the next aisle. Then again, he didn't help his cause when we saw him moments later in the "self-checkout" aisle. I imagine it won't be quite as funny 18 years from now for this daddy.

So as if exposing our young daughter to such immorality, albeit accidentally, wasn't bad enough, we stopped by a Wendy's for lunch and as we finished we saw a prime example of how everything is bigger in Texas. Scooting across the floor past our table was the largest cockroach I have ever seen in my life. At the time I wondered where the hillbilly was who collects the money to let little kids ride this thing. As I quickly threw away our tray Erin overheard the other customer in the dining room gently inform an employee that the cockroach's "friend" had recently passed away underneath another table.

Needless to say, we won't be stopping there for pretty much anything, ever again.

You've been a wonderful audience. Don't forget to tip your waitress. Now enjoy the comedy stylings on Daniel Tosh. (No. Seriously. He's hilarious.)
