She's coming home tomorrow!!!!

Tomorrow,we are driving to Oklahoma to pick up Bagle Ria!!! I am so excited that I woke up at 5:30am thinking about it, and I can't go back to sleep. I cannot wait to hold her! The boys know she is coming home soon, but the have no idea we are picking her up tomorrow. We plan on telling them, while we are driving, that we are going to a restaurant in Oklahoma. We are thinking about going to McDonald's or something silly to make them think "Why would we drive all the way here for McDonald's?" I can't wait!

Kaden and his Concerta - All 4 school days have received GREAT reports from his teachers! If it happens again today, it will make the first GREAT week he has EVER had in school! The only side effect we have seen, so far, is a few emotional stints over little things. I still cannot get over how great of a reader he is! All the practice we have done with his reading actually sunk in, we just never knew it.

We WILL be calling to ask for some medicine for the afternoons (after school.) The doctor told us to call if it afternoons were a problem. Last night, they had their Jeet Kun Do stripe testing. Kaden was his usual self - Not following directions and doing extra push-ups because of it. Luckily, he did get his stripe, but I wouldn't have blamed the instructors if they did not give it to him.

Gas Grills - We grill 4 nights per week, at least. We have always had a gas grill. In Guam, we had both a charcoal and a gas grill. We only brought our charcoal grill here with us, because the gas grill was rusted through the bottom. Eric and I have been married nearly 10 years, and have gone through 4 or 5 gas grills!!!!!!!!!!

We thought we could get away with just having the charcoal grill, but it's not cutting it. When it's 6pm and dinner needs made, it is such a pain to wait for the coals to be ready. Sooooo, we are on the hunt for a gas grill.

We usually only spend $150-$250 on one, but we are thinking about going with a Weber this time. Those puppies start out at $399, and the model above is $699. Our charcoal is a Weber, and is in AWESOME shape after 2 years of use. We are HOPING that by spending a little more on a gas grill, that it will last us longer than 2-3 years. Replacement parts are SUPER easy to find, too. It is so hard to make that jump, though!
