So I was discussing the Financial “bail out” with Jeffrey and he made me aware of this i guess … comical/distressing little fact about this bill that passed the Senate last week…
I find it rather amazing that during this time of crisis when everyone’s nerves are on edge , when people are losing their retirements , when AIG employees are having a jolly ole time using our tax dollars to buy a “nice quaint little get away pat in the back session”,oh and did i mention the Market is tanking, that we have our elected officials thinking about toys . Gee!!! i’m glad i wont have to pay more for Maeve’s toy arrows!!!

I think we spent our week trying to “reeecooop” from spending the weekend with the Adams family . We had an awesome time just hanging with the bros and Grandma and Grandpa. I think some small person really liked all the special attention ,and it was cool cus she provided added entertainment. We fished , and traipsed through the undergrowth and heard a guy try to lure the fish into his boat with country music , and Bob lost about a dozen hooks and bobbers ( there were many many underwater snags and such). We caught 3 fishes though and they were readily devoured that evening. Needless to say , lots of fun was had by us . I do realize now though that I, at 29 years of age (this is David in case you didnt notice by all the extra spaces between words), am an OLD FART. We stayed up late on friday , and i had the chinese disease the rest of the week (Dragon”draggin” Butt ) .
On another note , Maeve had a major-ish spill on thursday . She managed to get two ugly scratches on her face and managed to chomp her tongue a bit . I guess she learned that little girls cant fly . Poor baby , on top of that she’s been teething , so she is drooling constantly . I think she is doing better now , the patch on her shirt is only 2 inches wide instead of 4. Anyways I will try to salvage some ZZZZZ’s and hit the hay now.
If you click on the little pictures of Maeve on the sidebar you will get to a place that has the pictures you have been bugging me about .
Blessings
David and Tina , and Maeve
