A video

I took this video on Tuesday of Lauren on her slide.

Last night we had Mandy and Will over for dinner and I made Sarah's chicken pot pie recipe again. Today we are going to go have lunch with our good friend Megan. Megan's husband, Mark was in flight school at Fort Rucker, Alabama the same time Ben was, and Megan and I worked at the bank together. They went from Fort Rucker here to Fort Hood, and Mark just got back from his deployment to Iraq.

Tonight, Lauren and I are going to dinner at Katrina's house.

It has been pretty cold here the past two days, down in the 30's. It was raining this morning, so it must have warmed up a bit. I am looking forward to going to California next week and to the warmer weather it will bring.

Movie day

Last night we had Katrina and her girls and Arlie and her son and daughter over to join us for dinner. I made Sarah's chicken pot pie recipe. It was a hit. We ate every last bite, and for dessert I made the chocolate and peanut butter swirl again - also a big hit. It was a nice evening, we hung out until just before midnight.

Today Lauren and I met Katrina and her girls at the theater to see National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets at the theater. Lauren did pretty well in the theater. I could tell she wasn't as interested in it as she was in Enchanted, but that's ok. It's a different kind of movie. Afterwards we went to eat at Chili's and she fell asleep in the car on the way home. We've taken this evening pretty slow and we're about to get her in a bath and pajamas before heading to bed.

We don't have much planned for this week. Saturday we're having our Valentine's Day party for the FRG so we can make cards for the soldiers and send them off so they'll get there by Feb 14.

Less than two weeks before we leave for California!
