Beautiful weekend

The weekend is here, and we finally have beautiful weather in northeast Ohio.  I hear it's supposed to rain a little later today, but that's okay, the plants can use it.

Jenn's mother arrived on Wednesday afternoon, and the ladies have been working at a good pace to get the house cleaner than I thought it could get, and they've made a couple of great things in the kitchen, including a fruity, coconutty muffin that could be described as dessert-like.  They also finished up the shopping that needed to be done before Lincoln's arrival (no, not yet!).  So things are in order.

So while Laura's with us, Dave and Haley are holding the fort down in Phoenix.  I've even heard that Haley has already planned some recipes.  We're eagerly anticipating pictures!!!

We certainly thought we'd be busy with other things this weekend, but if not, we'll find other things to do.  I'm looking forward to seeing Ben Stein's new movie, Expelled.

Of course, I haven't seen it yet, but I ran across this review today from the Boston Globe that I thought was hilarious.  They argue that too much screen time was given to intelligent-design proponents and not enough time to secularists and humanists (my words, not theirs).  Funny how the God-deniers don't provide equal time in the trillions of student-hours in the classroom (science classrooms in America X hours of science teaching per day X years that Darwinism/Secularism has been exclusively taught = incalculable numbers of hours), but they do want equal time in a 2 hour movie that they've already decided is bunk anyway.

So you can see that I'll be entering the theater with a bias, but who won't?

Jenn's western student is coming along nicely in the kitchen!!!  Way to go, Haley!!!  (We can smell them from Hudson.)

Lincoln is Upside Down

Jenn had another appointment with her midwife today and we've determined that Lincoln has turned upside down. Things are looking pretty good. She also learned that we'll most likely have Mary for his delivery. Mary has been a wonderful nurse for us through Jenn's couple of issues and especially during her bout with the kidney stone. For the past couple of weeks, we've been talking between the two of us that we really want to have Mary around when Lincoln comes, and it looks like that might just be the case!

Out West, we were very happy to learn that Haley's procedure went as planned and that she's recovering well. We're praying for you, Haley!

I also learned today that Zach (my partner in crime at XEKE.com) won his election in yesterday's contest for Summit County Central Committee. This is a very good thing for the Summit County Republican Party because the current leadership is corrupt, and needs to be removed. Zach and many of the other Central Committee winners are ready to make that change when the group gets together in the spring time.
