Wow! It's been a long time...

Wow! It's been a really long time since I blogged. I always felt that I had to have something important or at the very least entertaining to say. But who really cares about that? :-) Last night, Olen and I watched AFI's 100 greatest films. I don't know why, but I always love their countdowns. Olen figured out the top movie from the beginning. Citizen Kane won top honors. Apparently, they cut holes in the floor of the studio just to get some of their shots. It was fun to see where our favorite movies ended up. My favorite, the Lord of the Rings, ended up at #50.

Father's Day was a big success around here. I pretty much let Olen decide what a perfect day would be. We got up late. That's always a bonus for me! He decided that he really wanted to go to Galveston for a picnic. Now, if you don't remember the weather on Sunday, let me remind you: It was raining. Yes, I said raining! But Olen was determined. I decided that since it was his day that we would do whatever he wanted. So, we loaded the car with the baby, us, and the picnic basket. We made a stop at the grocery store for more needed items. Then, off we went through the rain.
By the time we hit the causeway, we had driven out of the rain. Apparently, it was only raining in the Houston area. Cool! Bonus...the temperature was cooler beacuse of the storms that were in the area. We actually had a nice picnic. Then we took Aiden out for his first look at the Gulf. He had a blast! Mommy and Daddy paid lots of attention to him. He thought that was loads of fun. We went for a long walk on the beach. We decided that it was time to head back when we heard thunder! We got back near the car right when it started to sprinkle down on us. Then, we drove around for awhile sightseeing. By the time we got back in close to Houston, the weather had turned into sunshine and blue skies. Now, that's a beautiful ending to a beautiful day!
