After a long 24 hours away from our Haley, we're home!

"I love my baths these days! Aren't I cute all bundled up in a towel?""I like to help Mommy hold up one side of the book while we read together."
"More, Daddy, more! I love books!"
"Here is some evidence I found on Mommy's camera that she was having fun without me, how rude! Katy & Greg-O at El Vaquero, what are those tasty looking drinks they have in their hands?"
"Well, Sydney has one of those tasty drinks too - I hear it's a strawberry margarita but that I have to wait 20 years and 7 months before I'm allowed to have one! Hmpf! No margaritas for Spencer though, he's Syd's DD for life! Lucky her!"
"Are they all wearing their seat belts? I have to be strapped into this crazy contraption with what seems like 27 belts and snaps on it, I bed I'd get in trouble if I tried to ride in a car like that! I hear they were on their way to a karaoke bar called Mickey's in Grandview and that they had a lot of fun there."
Well, on the way to Columbus yesterday we had a bit of an adventure. When we were about 3/4 of the way there, driving on 33, we suddenly got a flat tire - the whole side of the front driver's side tire blew out! Boo! Luckily I have AAA still from when I had my battery die on me earlier this year when I was living in Columbus by myself. So after waiting 1/2 an hour for a AAA guy to arrive, he changed our tire and we were on our way at the speedy rate of no more than 50 mph - woo hoo! When we finally arrived at Syd & Spencer's, everyone was famished and after a quick tour of their house we rushed off to El Vaquero for tasty mexican food and yummy margaritas. After that we headed over to Mickey's, a Karoke bar, which was quite entertaining and that I will have to go back to sometime when I'm feeling gutsy enough to karaoke myself. Then Chadmo and I stayed the night at Syd & Spencer's.

This morning (late morning) we all went to Marie Scrambblers and had tasty breakfast. Then Chadmo and I headed on our way to Sear's in Lancaster to buy a couple new tires for my car and have its' headlight fixed. While we were waiting we also picked out our Christmas washing machine from Grandma and Grandpa and it's supposed to be delivered to our house on Thursday - yay! I also had too much time on my hands and decided to try getting my ears pierced again. There's a piercing and tatoo place in the mall now that uses needles instead of piercing guns to pierce your ears, and needles are supposed to be less traumatic and make it easier for your ears to heal (which is what I've had trouble with before.) So hopefully this time they will take and heal nicely! The only funny thing is that they don't normally do such tame piercings as ear lobes, so the only studs they had are giant ZZ Top Cubic Zirconias, so I'm feeling a bit like a blingy gangsta at the moment and for the next month till I can change them!

FINALLY we got to come home to our Haley-bug! She is so cute, and so big, and it is soooo good to be home with her again. We missed her while we were gone. We have been reading books and catching up on all the fun adventures she had with Grandma and Grandpa. It's good to get to squeeze her and kiss her again! :)
