ARR! Shiver me timbers, mate! I hope you sea dogs had a right good Talk Like A Pirate Day, especially you naked pirates! AR!

The highlight of my day actually was letting Brenden chew mightily on my knuckles for about an hour. Poor kid is teething something fierce. He's running a low-grade fever and gnawing on anything he can get his gums on.

The three of us are going on a mini-vacation to Oklahoma, where my dad has a place. It's where I spent my vacations as a kid. It's right smack dab in the middle of nowhere. Nontheless I plan to take many pictures and blog from there.

Oh, yeah: It's a 10 hour drive. Pray for me - Brenden isn't the only guy in our family that gets whiny on long trips.
