Oh Gustav were are you?

John's parent's made it in safe this afternoon. We were all so happy to see them. However, you can tell we are all Yankee's. They decided they wanted to see the Gulf so we were planning a trip down there tomorrow. Um, forgot about the hurricane! We got home and had a note on our door from housing saying we need to prepare for it as it will hit southern LA and AL on Monday! Looks like it wont be a direct hit, but will will get plenty of rain and winds. I am thinking maybe going to Florida tomorrow isn't the smartest idea and maybe Wal-Mart is. At least we have the gas range in this house. From www.weather.com "the outer rainbands of Gustav will begin impacting coastal areas of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle as early as late Sunday with scattered downpours and thunderstorms. Wind, rain and waves will increase significantly through Monday with the worst conditions arriving along the Louisiana coast by Monday afternoon."  HMM, sort of getting worried. More worried about getting things at Wal-Mart and especially worried about the 6 boxes of toasted ravioli in my freezer! I am also worried about not being able to turn in assignments for class. I guess since my laptop is fully charged I still write them, but cant turn them in. I emailed my teacher but already I can tell that doesnt work too well.

Otherwise we are doing fine. We went to Dothan tonight for dinner to celebrate John's moms birthday. A waitress gave Cade a kiddie cup with ice in it to "make noise". He was so excited when she gave him the cup that he took and and tried for at least 5 minutes to drink from it. So I took the lid off the help him drink it and accidentally poured it all over him! WOOPS mommy. We went to the book store, well because we all enjoy it! John's parents are here until Thursday, but I am a little worried about them being here and then getting home. Hopefully by then the weather will have died down, but we will probably be spending most of our time at home. I was looking forward to getting out and exploring the town a bit since I have a reason. Normally it is just Wal-Mart for us!

I have also included a few pictures of Cade taking a bath in the big boy tub. He loves it! He spends about 30 minutes a night in there playing around. 

Its that time of the year again...

I think that about covers it. Nothing else much going on. We went out for dinner tonight with friends, which was GREAT! One has a kid who is three months and the other was blind Kelly and her husband, John (I know, funny!). We had such a good time at...Ryan's (we will never get away from that place). We had to leave first though, which was hard because we wanted to stay, but Cade was so tired. He was so tried he feel asleep on the changing table! 

My paper is starting to come along very well with some help from Rhonda (THANK YOU!). So I am pleased with it and hoping to get it done because John's parents come in Saturday and it is due saturday night. John surprisingly is off tomorrow. Neither of us knew, so we will be cleaning and I will be working on my paper.
