Jess saw this clip the other night on Amercia’s Funniest Home Videos. It’s of a mother and her quadruplets. Their laughter because of something their daddy does is one of the greatest things I’ve ever heard:

Also, today I was sent THIS clip from Joy McCallum. It was a clip that my mother had asked me a few weeks ago if I had seen yet. Thankfully, I hadn’t – it, too, is hilarious:

Went golfing with two of my buds today.

Scott Greene and Glen Robinson both joined me for the “front nine” at the Raccoon Run this morning for some good relationship-building.

We didn’t actually play a “real game” of golf today, however.

Nope – we played “Bingo, Bango, Bongo” – a golf game that I thought Scott came up with, but upon further review, it’s all over the web.

The game is played with each hole having “3 points”.

Point 1 – given to the first player to reach the green.
Point 2 – given to the player who gets closest to the pin once everyone has reached the green.
Point 3 – given to the first player who sinks the putt.

Obviously some interesting strategies are born after one realizes the benefit of chipping “close” to the green instead of ON the green to possibly get a shot at Point #2. It was quite fun, actually. In the end, Scott won and Glen and I tied.

After our golf-outing and getting some work done in the office, it was off to the house for a quick clean-up before tonight’s first-ever BOX ROAD TRIP.

Tonight 32-people came to the Sheets’ Home for fellowship, food, baby-holding, and even a Texas Hold’em Tournament!

Much fun was had by ALL, I’m sure – though Stevan and Jess (don’t you LOVE third-person statements?) are a bit tired after attempting to entertain such a group in their miniature home.

A lot more pictures of tonight are here.

After everyone went home, I finally got some “Daddy time” with Ella. Of course I took some pictures:

Lot’s more Ella pictures here.

Also, I made a nice little Ella Wallpaper for you to enjoy – open this and right-mouse-click it to save as your desktop!

Tonight we also caught some great Ella-moments on film. Of course we’ll share with everyone in the world:

First, Ella “talking”:

Now, Ella standing:

Today our family headed to Jess’ first-grade classroom for one final “clean up”.

Ella enjoyed sitting in the “Author’s Chair”:

When all was said and done, we had a carload of school-stuff to be sifted through in the next weeks and stored.

Here Mommy looks around her classroom:

Jess talked about how much she will miss Harrison and the people she worked with. She will miss the kiddos, too, but she is excited at her new role as full-time Mommy. (Even the full-time Mommy of a baby girl that will not stop crying right now!)

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:

Sure she’s sucked her thumb for about 3-5 seconds, but tonight while waiting for her dinner, Ella had her thumb in her mouth long enough for this photo and this video clip!
