a very uncomfortable place

A bigger Izzy

Getting bigger by the day.

Here is Bruce Wayne perched atop a...well, a cabinet.

Sere being good with her antlers on.

Izzy not quite as patient with antlers...

Bruce, perching again.

Okay, last one! Sere's new jacket, thanks to Kate (Kasey was too big for it).

For Erin and Chris

My scottish beauties... :)

We were going through some old tapes and putting them on DVD when we came upon our taping of the Highland Games. :) Of course I thought of you (and how I STILL can't get Matt into a kilt). But I also remembered I wanted you guys to hear The Scotsman. I love that song. So I found it, though not by the guy I heard sing it (I think it was Bryan Bowers or John Denver). But you can listen to it here. Also, here are the lyrics.

The Scotsman

Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar on evening fair
And one could tell by how he walked that he drunk more than his share
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

About that time two young and lovely girls just happend by
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt

They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
And there behold, for them to see, beneath his Scottish skirt
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

They marveled for a moment, then one said we must be gone
Let's leave a present for our friend, before we move along
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon, tied into a bow
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
Around the bonnie star, the Scots kilt did lift and show

Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
Behind a bush, he lift his kilt and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes.
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize

I just LOVE it! :) Okay, back to watching more videos of my granpa...and studying. :(

I know you wanna see Matt's new car

Our trip to Knoxville was nice. We ate at Ruby Tuesday's for lunch and it was GREAT! When we got back we went to Jonathan's with Josh and played some games on the Wii. Fun. I'm knitting a scarf. I'll let you know how that goes. :) Oh yeah and I do have pictures from work's christmas party, though not from the Receptionist Christmas party which Wendy and I crashed...anyway, those will come later, I really need to study. Two finals this week!
