Another update

Back again for a small update :-)
Normally, I'd be changing layouts around this time, but I think it'll be a while before I get tired of the current one. I've made three new ones, one of Niece3 (my youngest niece), one of Pirates Of The Caribbean (first movie layout!), and the other of the band Skillet and their song "Alien Youth" (it'll actually be kind of like a "sequal" to the first layout I did, which you can see in the Past Layouts page). I'm pretty sure my next layout will be Pirates Of The Caribbean, so I'm looking forward to that! It's funny...normally I'd have a ton of layouts prepared for the next change, but I only have two right now...maybe that's a good thing, because then I won't be able to change layouts SO fast.

On Sunday, there was an "indoor picnic" (for the caregroup my parents go to) after church, and it was a total blast! We also got to invite Ashleigh, Aaron, and my nieces. I played ping-pong A LOT, first with my friend Kasey and then her brother, Justin. At one point, Niece1 and Niece2 were brave enough to join in! I don't know if they ever actually hit the ball, but they were fun to watch all the same. At one point, I got hit (lightly) on the forehead with a ball, and then it bounced right off, only to hit Niece2 in the same place :-D We didn't actually get hurt, but Niece2 was rather surprised and made a sad face :-D

I also got to hang out with my nieces again on Monday...I think at about 9:30 in the morning, I suddenly thought, "I need to see the girls!", so I called Ashleigh, asking her if there was any way possible that I could spend time with them. She told me she had actually thought of asking me if I wanted to go to the mall with her, so she picked me up after a few minutes. It seemed to rain all day, but it was pretty. When we were going into the mall, Niece1 and Niece3 were in the stroller, and Niece2 wanted to walk. I guess Niece2 didn't see Ashleigh put Niece3 in the stroller, so she asked, "Do we have Niece3?", and we answered, "Yes, she's in the stroller". Niece2 was walking behind the stroller with me, so she didn't see Niece3. At least two more times, she asked, "Do we have Niece3?", and she didn't seem to believe us until Ashleigh stopped the stroller so Niece2 could see. When she walked over and looked in, she got a big smile on her face and said in a very happy voice, "We have Niece3!!", and she hardly left Niece3's side for the rest of the day. I can tell she is protective of her both of her sisters and loves them very much...Niece1 spent the night with us a few weeks ago, and when we brought Niece1 back to her house the next day, Niece2 opened the door, held her arms out, and almost screamed, "Niece1!!", and when Niece1 got in the house, Niece2 was frequently hugging Niece1 and saying, "I missed you, Niece1!". It makes me happy to see how much they all love eachother...I mean, it's not like they never get into little fights once in a while, but when it comes down to it, they're very close.

Can't wait to see Pirates Of The Caribbean and Superman...anyone else?
