Footprints on the Moon

What I Like

My friend Cass over at DigiCass asked everyone to share a picture of something that we like. I thought about taking a picture of various crochet works in progress. Or a picture of my candles. I even thought about taking a picture of my extensive movie collection. In the end though, I decided to share a picture of one of my favorite people.

That’s a picture of my nephew Aiden who is five and a half months old. There’s nothing better than seeing his face light up when I walk in the room. It’s a joy to see smiles like that one break across his face, especially when they’re meant for you. And when he cries, real tears, it’s enough to break my heart. I was calling him Stitch today and he was laughing. So my picture of something I like is of my chubby cheeked nephew!

Weekend “Away”

You may have noticed that there weren’t any posts here over the last two days. I spent an unplanned couple of days away from home! I had Good Friday off of work this year, and Erica and I had plans for both Thursday night and Friday morning/afternoon, so I decided to just pack up my stuff and stay over there for the night rather than driving back and forth.
We left her house about 10:30 on Friday morning to go to lunch, and go shopping, and just out and about around town. We went to my mom’s at 6pm because Ryan and Ash-lee were having my mom babysit for Killian so they could go out and enjoy their one month anniversary– they didn’t do anything special the day they got married. They went down to the courthouse on his lunch break!
By the time we got dinner and back to her house, it was quite late and the weather was deteriorating at a very rapid pace. I still thought about coming home, but Erica didn’t want me to drive home with the roads getting bad so fast, and I decided I didn’t want to either. So I ended up staying there on Friday night as well!! We did a little bit of running around this morning, and I finally made it home about 1:30 or 2pm this afternoon. Now I’m just catching up on internet stuff, watching movies, and relaxing. I’m going to make myself do some cleaning around here in a little while though. It’s not too bad, but there’s definitely some things that need picked up! What I really want to do is take a nap.
