I took all of this change in to the bank today. I was pleasantly surprised by how much it added up to.

Westboro Baptist Church was planning to protest North Central College's screening of the movie, 'Anatomy of Hate'. The students planned a counter-protest & celebration of the power of love. Westboro didn't show up, but the students were awesome!

The student council members went to rake leaves for an elderly couple today (for "Make a Difference day"). It rained on them but, they got the job done.

I was at another doctor appointment today. Nothing seriously wrong with me, I just tend to do this...get all of my appointments at the same time of year and then I'm done for a while. I had an eye doctor appointment today at 10:30...I was completely amazed that I was called into an examination room so quickly (Less than 10 minutes).

Playing a new card game that we got for Jim for a very, very early birthday present. Annie & Jim have been playing all kinds of board games, card games & role-playing games, lately.

I have been having numbness/tingling in my legs and arms. The doctor ordered and MRI to check out my lower back. I've never had one before, I had to keep telling myself that it would be over soon and that I'd be ok.

Went out to dinner a day late for Gabby's birthday. You can hardly see her, but I didn't want to use the flash and have everyone stare at us.

Today Janet and Brady came to visit!! We were so happy to see them. This was our first time meeting Brady!! I am so happy, we went to our first pumpkin patch, 1st hayride, and petting zoo. The babies kept falling asleep in the car. They look sooo cute!

Put some new (used) carpet in the playroom. It's still kind of bumpy so I did not attach it yet, hoping that it will flatten out after a while. When I put the furniture back, I rearranged everything. Now I get lost every time that I go down there.

Three crows sitting on a telephone wire outside of Andrea & Nathan's condo, when I went to pick up Bryce this evening. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy :-)

His teacher was throwing away these lima bean sprouts that they had used in an experiment. He asked if he could bring them home. We've got them transplanted in a pot on the windowsill, now.

I went on a bike ride today and past this frog. He was just sitting on the bike path. I turned around to get a picture of him and he was still sitting there. I was sure that he'd hop away before I could take the picture, but he didn't.

Don't you just hate waiting in the doctor's office? I had an appointment at 10:30, they told me to be there at 10:15 to fill out paperwork (new doctor). So, I got there at 10:15. Here my watch shows the time as I was waiting for the doctor to come into the examination room.

Eric and I drove Dylan home tonight because we were going to see OK GO at the House of Blues. We took him out for pizza at Rick Nielsen's (of Cheap Trick) restaurant before dropping him off. The pizza was HUGE!
