Holy Crap She’s TEN

Noah turned ten years old on Sunday. I can’t believe she’s reached double digits. It seems like just yesterday I was squeezing her infant seat into my Jetta to bring her home from the hospital. Now she’s this intelligent, beautiful young girl.

She had a couple friends sleep over Friday night. She’s entering into the giggly young adolescent stage. They were up late talking, and making all sorts of noise.

On Sunday we had some family over, and of course Noah got a stack of books. Everyone knows that’s the best thing to get her. She’s already finished one, and is almost done with another. We got her a hammock as well, so she’s spent a good portion of the last couple days relaxing in that with her books.

Best way to get good pictures of kids

Every time I try to get decent pictures of the kids they either make goofy faces, or turn it into a game and run away. Today I just gave them the camera and told them to take pictures of each other. Of course the majority of the pictures they took were not of each other, and the ones that were mostly consisted of them goofing around. I didn’t have to get frustrated trying to get good pictures of them though. Here’s some good pictures they took.

Obama Announces High Speed Rail Plan  *

Madison to Chicago would be a nice trip. My guess is the route would be by way of Milwaukee. I had a conversation with a faculty member a few weeks ago who buses in from Milwaukee to teach in Madison. Apparently, the buses are full of commuters during the week. High speed rail would be a boon.
