I am supposed to be packing up my things and heading down to Indy right now, but I had to snap some last-minute shots of my beautiful daughter first.
I’m heading down tonight for a meeting that I have there tomorrow. I’m staying with Kory – and actually he’s leading the meeting, too! How cool is that?
This is my first time away from Mommy and Ella since Ella’s birth – and yes, I’m a bit un-nerved. They’ll do fine – especially with 15-minute incremental check-ups from Daddy!
Today our family headed to Jess’ first-grade classroom for one final “clean up”.
Ella enjoyed sitting in the “Author’s Chair”:

Speaking of crying – here’s a short clip I shot today of Ella on the changing table letting us know that she wasn’t too happy:
If you’ve seen the first two installments of, by-far, the greatest comic-to-movie creation – you’re going to see this movie. We enjoyed this flick up in Goshen at the Linway Plaza Theater tonight with a crowd of under 50. Quite un-packed for a Friday night at the movies we thought. Side note: even LESS of the crowd enjoyed the after-credits finale that I had read about and we waited to watch.
The movie was EXCELLENT. Tons of action, some great dialogue, a great plot, and even better CG than the first two! Some pretty intense plot-twists and action sequences made viewing this film well worth the over-priced ticket!
If you’ve not seen the first two, don’t dare go and see this one first – you’ll be missing a lot of the pre-plot. Go out and rent 1 and 2 and watch them back to back and then go see X3. Seriously, you’ll thank me later.

Thanks to Mom & Dad Garrett, Jess and I were able to have our first-in-six-weeks date-night! We drove up to Goshen, watched X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and then enjoyed dinner at the Backyard BBQ restaurant!
We were celebrating two years of marriage tonight – our anniversary is actually on Monday, but I will be in Indianapolis for a meeting on Monday – and it was convenient that Mom and Dad Garrett both had Friday off and could watch Ella while we dated!
Ella did wonderfully – though it was good to know that we were missed by our daughter as we missed her for the 6-ish hours that we were gone:
In other news, Stevan’s new friend arrived today – and I got all of about 1500 songs loaded on to it before coming home for date-night. (1500 of about 4000 thus far) By the way – this is an Apple iPOD.
It was good to get away for a few hours tonight with my favorite woman, the love of my life. Celebrating two years of marriage is quite interesting – we amazed ourselves to think that at this time two years ago we NEVER would’ve thought we’d be parents in two years! Never! And yet God is blessing us as parents – everyday!
