Weekend Updates

CAR UPDATE: So after paying $25 on Wednesday to list our car on AJC and add the Rodeo back to our insurance for $50 on Friday, we got a Craig Lister interested who wanted to come see the car on Saturday. Figures! They drove all the way from Jasper, GA (I'm not even really sure where that is), paid $5000 in cash and $500 by check. Hey....whatever works! So we no longer own three cars and are back to a two car family!!! Here is a last picture as an ode to the Rodeo!
ANOTHER CLASSIC ALEXIS MOMENT: Just another moment of looking at your child, but really looking in the mirror. We are sitting at dinner the other night and mumbled under my breath, I said "dammit". I can't even really remember the context, but nonetheless, I obviously thought Alexis wasn't listening and couldn't make out the jumbled under-the-breath quality of the word. But what came out of Alexis's mouth next made Ben and I roll on the floor with laughter. She says "Daaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaam, we left something at Old Ma's". Now, think of sweet little Alexis.....she uses this southern drawl that comes out of nowhere to use a related form of the word I used in a completey different, yet utterly accurate context. In reality, we didn't leave anything at Old Ma's that day, but apparently, Alexis now knows the appropriate context for the word "damn". What happened to when she used to say "oh crumbun"? I guess my baby is growing up!!!


MAXWELL'S BATHROOM PROBLEM: Poor Maxwell is still having himself a hard time going to the bathroom. We thought it was from his limited diet of oatmeal and apples, but he has since broadened his horizons since his last suppository episode and now eats prunes, apricots, pears, peas, and carrots. Way to go, Max! Unfortunately for Max, his varied diet did not help his "issue". Max has had to be violated two times this weekend with suppositories. I guess we should invest in some rubber gloves! However, this does not seem to be a good long-term solution. Guess we'll have to take another trip to the doctor where they will want another $30 copay. Shouldn't there be some limit to the number of copays you should pay for the same condition????? Maybe I should be the next president????
