1.  Claire will in fact be going on an airplane. (She’s been telling everyone since Cookie got here and left that SHE gets to ride on an airplane).  We just booked our tickets this morning for Thanksgiving in the Outer Banks Washington DC with Jonathan’s Family!!  We are very excited to go back for a decent period of time! (Wed - Monday!)

2. I WILL be spending my 30th birthday in Notre Dame Stadium with my Dad.  Thanks Erika/Mr. Foo for the USC tickets!

3.  My NSI Security seminar WILL have 100 attendees so help me God.

4.  Madeline will be walking.  Soon.  She is taking very wobbly steps unassisted on occasion already.  She’s not totally ready — but I give her two weeks.  It’s very exciting and a bit scary at the same time.  Claire was 13 months before she started walking and Madeline just turned 9 months this past week.
