Anyway, today's blog is all about the little ones. These aren't all of the little ones out there in the world, but these are some of the ones that are special to me. So in no particular order:
My nephews...... Elliott will be 5 in February (holy crap!) and Al (Alexander but you can call him Al - if I can call you Betty) will be 3 at the end of November. Al and I share half birthdays with each other! Elliott is the one that started soccer recently so I included pictures of him doing that. Elliott is very left brained and so much like his dad (my brother Jeremy) and will probably end up being another doctor in the family. Al is very right brained from what I can tell so far and I think will grow up to be the engineer someday but that's just my bias opinion:) Both are adorable and love to laugh and smile. I've taken notes from Al as he seems to always be able to hit on the women wherever he goes.... he's my inspiration!
Next is Kaycee who is the adorable daughter of my cousin Cari. She looks just like her mother it's scary:) Kaycee also recently started soccer and will be 5 next year in April as well. Here you can see pictures of her visiting the dentist. Kaycee is extremely out going and will pretty much make friends with whomever is in the room with her. There are some cute stories of her going and visiting my great grandmother (her great-GREAT-grandmother) whom is still living in Nebraska. Kaycee lives in Nebraska as well and will unfortunately grow up under the regime of the Red and White of Nebraska Huskers:(
Hailey is a miracle. She was born in January to my friends Brad and Shelly. Unfortunately we lost Shelly right after that and I miss her dearly. She was one of the "sisters" I never had.... so now Hailey has become the "niece" I never had (yet). Hailey and I relate with the whole lack of hair issue. I was bald till I was two so she has a long way to go before she gets complete sympathy out of me! Here she is modeling her Halloween costume as a lady bug. She's crawling and Brad's spending many hours chasing her (he'll do that for the rest of his life):)
Then comes Emily. I was able to see Emily this past Saturday in Ames but she slept the whole time. Just like her dad - always passed out. Emily is the daughter of my good friends Jamie and Jill who still live in Ames... kind of. Boone county but Ames address. However that works. Jamie has tried to inadvertently killed me many times through college by ditching me in the wilderness at 1am and sending me to the emergency room after a sledding experience. I swear he aimed right for me! Emily is also crawling and is the most content child I've ever met. She's addicted to NASCAR already (maybe it's just the TV she's addicted to) and I have yet to really hear her cry.
Song of the Day - since we're talking about Kids, the only song going through my mind right now is of course Michael Jackson's Thriller. There's some good memories of many wedding dances to that song. Might be one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion.
Video of the Day - new Netflix movies on the way today including Fever Pitch. I'll let you know how it is.
Webpage of the Day - This might have been more appropriate for the Britney Blog from Tuesday, but still made me laugh: http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2005470508,00.html.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Speaking of song of the day, I still think the best version is when you did your dance at my wedding. :) Of course I have the video clip of it. For all of you IMBers you can find it at http://w3.rchland.ibm.com/~adickins/Thriller.avi
haha - thanks! too bad Nate didn't get the 2nd half of that dance on his camera. It got so much better (even though I don't remember much of it).
