I have given up for now trying to get my video to upload. It is driving me crazy. I am going to contact the support for the converter I am using and see if I can get it figured out. By the time I get it figured out her crawling will be old news, she will proably be walking. OK enough about that. I finally got Charlotte's pictures in the mail yesterday so everyone will be getting copies soon.
What have we been up to you ask?? Well life has been busy and pretty mundane. We haven't really been doing to much. Jim has been hauling sweet corn and thank god it is his last week. He will be back home on Monday. I am really missing him being home. Last night I let the dogs out and I swear there was someone out there. I get so freaked out being home by myself, but I swear. I was sitting on the back steps and I heard the leaves russle. I thought it was the cat because he had snuck out when I got home, but then it was two distinct foot step walking along the pine tree line next to the corn field. Well needless to stay I didn't stick around to find out who or what it was. I went in the house grab a kitchen knife and sat on the couch in terror. I am not one of those dumb ass horror movie girls who hear a thud in the darkness and then walks towards it asking "Who's there." Not me instead I slept with all the windows doors and anything else that would lock locked. I had almost all the lights in the house on and I left them on all night. Screw the environment!! I know a bit of an over reaction, but your not here by yourself hearing people walking around in backyard. Tonight I am better but will probably still leave the lights on. Jim is going to kill me when he get the light bill and it has doubled from last month, again I don't care he is not here by himself. OK I am done now. I will move on to happier things. I have been getting into researching our family history. I went to Poynette on Thursday and finally got to see the book my grandmothers sister put together on the history of my mom's side of the family. This book is amazing. 941 pages of everything you could possibly want to know about your family. I am trying to get a copy of the entire book so I will be able to share it with my brothers and sisters. I really think it is important for everyone to have a copy and add to it. I have really enjoyed doing this and I plan on taking it a lot further. I am going to do some of Jim's side but I think it is going to be difficult because Jim's mom has no contact with anyone in her family. She separated herself from everyone in her family for one reason or another so I am not sure anyone on that side will even speak to me. I also want to talk with my dad about his side of the family. I asked him about it and found out my Aunt Charlotte A.K.A. "Big Charlotte" Has a book about our family history that goes back to Scotland. So I am going to call her this weekend and see if I could copy it and see what pictures she has. I am guessing she has a lot of information, so it will be fun to see what she has. I want to do this especially since my dad is getting older and will not be around much longer. It needs to be done. I am going to put together a scrapbook and a hope chest for Charlotte and any other kids Jim and I have. I want to be able to put together a picture of the family my children are apart of. It is fascinating to me. Other then that things are going well. I am posting some new pictures of Charlotte taking a bath. We have found that it is so much easier for Charlotte to just take a bath with either Jim or I instead of trying to do it separately. Our bath tub has a ceramic ledge that goes all the way around and it makes it impossible to put Charlotte in the tub and still be able to reach her. The tub is too deep and the ledge makes it to far away. So she just goes in with one of us and we kill two birds with one stone. She likes it because Jim likes playing with the toys as much as she does. When Jack and Cherie were here Jack would say that when Jim wanted me to come and get Charlotte it was because he wanted to play with the toys by himself. It is probably true, but that what makes him a great dad. He loves to play with Charlotte as much as Charlotte likes playing with him. So enjoy the pictures and I really hope to get the video up soon. I am going to try posting it on youtube and then transfer it here so keep checking.

JJ, I did the same thing when I was single until someone told me this,, DON"T turn all the light on inside.. do the oposite.. you want to expose where the intruder is.. not where you are.. and have them be able to watch where you are in the house..
