Last night Amber, Eli, and I were all down in the basement hanging out. Eli's new thing is pulling himself up on various things and showing off by waving one hand in the air. He thinks he's the bomb when he does this.
So anyway, Amber is folding clothes out of the laundry basket and Eli decides to pull himself up on the side of the basket. We were just watching him showboat in his victory stance and he all of the sudden decided to take off toward me, about 5 feet away. Before any of us knew what was going on, he had taken about 3 steps right towards me and was still standing when Amber, shocked by what had happened screamed and grabbed him because she thought he was going to fall down.
The whole event was pretty exciting. Eli got startled by Amber's reaction and in a span of about 7.3 seconds, Amber had gone upstairs to grab her phone, call her mom, and alert the press. Please see tomorrow's Harlan Tribune for the full details.
We'll probably see Eli walking here shortly. He can't wait.
I spent the weekend with vendors from my job visiting from Ohio. They run an HVAC company in Dayton, OH. Friday and Saturday were pretty exhausting for everyone. We went to dinner on Friday night and then tailgated, went to the ISU football game (which was awesome), and finished the day with and ISU basketball game on Saturday. A good time was had by all.
Here is a commercial from the company that was in town. I like it. It's not like other commercials you would see for this type of business and definitely catches your attention. All it needs is a voice-over from Ron Novotny. "They come wreck-a-mended!"
Tomorrow: Big, huge, shocking, earth-shattering news. Stay tuned.
