Just Add Water

My precious daughter Addison has been on quite a roll lately.
The other day, when the tornadoes hit, I had a couple of poker-playing friends over because we have a storm shelter and they don't.
Addie really took to both of them, but she especially liked my friend Brian. After knowing him for about 30 minutes, she ran up to him and tried to kiss him on the mouth! If that's how she's acting at two-and-a-half years old, I can't imagine what it's going to be like in a dozen years. Anyone know a good gun shop?
After the storms passed, we all decided to go to a Thai restaurant. Missy, Addie and I took one car, and the boys drove separate. On the way over there, Missy and I were talking and Addie said, "Mommy." We were in the middle of our brief discussion so we just kept talking. Again Addie said, "Mommy." Missy was on the last sentence of our talk, but Addie couldn't wait any longer. "MOMMY!!!" she screamed at the top of her voice.
"Yes honey," Missy said. To which Addie calmly replied, "Where's Brian?"

Addison loves to help Missy with watering the gardens. Yesterday, unfortunately, she decided that our laptop needed some hydration. So I'm writing this blog on the old desktop, which literally took an hour to boot up. Once it gets going, it's not a ton slower than our laptop, but it does make a loud whirring sound on occasion.
When we bought the laptop, we figured it needed some "Addie protection," so we bought the full warranty, which includes things like pouring water all over it. We're crossing our fingers that the hard drive isn't fried, but regardless it won't cost us anything to fix/replace it. We'll just have to keep Addie from watering the old desktop for the next 2-3 weeks until we get our computer back.
