THAI ICE TEA WITH THE CAPTAIN

..................Morgan that is.

DADDY/DAUGHTER DAY

Dad was planning to go skiing today becuase we got some fresh snow
these past couple of days. However plans were changed when Mimi came
into the room this morning saying that she wanted to give me the day
off and spend time with dad. I have a feeling that she understands
that her alone time with dad is numbered. So off to breakfast and a
movie they went.

MIMI AND HER BOYZ

After the visit to the lake it was time to head on home. We had been home for about a half hour before Blake called looking for his friends. When I said that it was ok for him to come over, he was here in less than a minute. So of course Mimi was in heaven with her two boys to play with. Micah came too. I was in heaven too just listening to them play. Kids and dogs go together. They just make the house come alive.

Blake no sooner arrived at the house when Keri called to tell him to come home. She wanted to take him to the store to exchange some items. I said good luck with that one. Sure enough Blake no sooner went home and came right back. Who wants to go shopping when all of your friends are here??? Can you blame the boy???

We all enjoyed chicken soup on this cold day then it was time to head outside while the weather was still clear. Blake got a electric scooter for Christmas and unbeknownst to Mimi she is getting hers for her birthday in a couple of weeks. It is hiding in the shed on the side of our house. It is not as big as Blake's but that is okey dokey by me. She will have fun with it come this summer.

TODAY AGAIN AT LAKE WILDERNESS

Only this time Shad and Micah came with us. We had a light dusting of snow last night and I thought that if we hurried, we could make it to the Lake Wilderness golf course to go sledding. Unfortunately by the time we got there the snow had melted away. So on to the park we went instead. You can't see it in the video but Butch did not know quite what to make of the ducks in the lake.

SHOOTING

Last night I read in the news that there was a shooting on the Lake
Wilderness trail just after Mimi, Butch and I had left. There is a
trail that goes all around the lake that is quite popular for everyone
to jog or stroll.

There was a 16 yr old girl walking with a 19 yr old boy. The couple
came upon two other 19 yr old boys. Apparently they all knew each but
were not bosom buddies with wach other. Words were exchanged. One boy
drew a gun and shot the boy who was walking with the girl. He was hit
in the left shoulder. The bullet went through the shoulder and hit the
girl in the head. Both were still conscious as they were being
airlifted to Harborview Hospital in Seattle. The suspects were caught
at Rock Creek Elementary school. Investigation is ongoing. News said
that these people were not new to the police. All the teenagers attend
Tahoma High School. This is to be the high school that Mimi is
assigned to.

ADOPTION PAPERWORK

Recieved an e-mail from Mike our homestudy guy. He sent the documents for us to look over and sign. However a couple of mistakes were made. One is, he made reference to our doctor as a male when in fact SHE is a female (don't know if that makes any difference) and then he wrote the wrong date for Greg's birthday. He made dad even older than he already is.

INVENTORS

Good ol' tinker toys. What's old is new again.
