Surprise!

Day 270-Sep 27th: Well...we did it. I finally started teaching Russell how to drive my car tonight. He actually did a really good job. We mostly practiced just getting the car going, but he did shift into 2nd and even 3rd once or twice. We spent about 1/2 an hour tonight, and we'll have to spend some more time, but it's a start. By the end he had done several really smooth starts, it will just take some practice to get them every time.

Day 269-Sep 26th: I bought this little journal and added the ribbons on the edge for Elizabeth, a girl I work with. It was for people to write advice in at the baby shower Keera and I were throwing for her tomorrow. Except.....she had the baby Thursday night!!! Like two weeks early! You can't have the baby before the shower....HELLO! Anyway, we kept the shower on and just collected presents for her and let people write some advice/notes and we are going to take her the presents on Monday.
