I don't think this kid is in the napping mood just yet.
And I think she's feeling pretty good for a kid that's staying home sick.

Pensacola 5k Bridge Swim
The next upcoming race: 
I'll be swimming a 5k (3.1mi) from Pensacola, FL to Gulf Breeze, FL along the pretty popular "3 mile bridge". Maybe I'm crazy, but it should be fun!
As a matter of fact, I'm swimming it for Team Red White & Blue and would appreciate your support. How's about stepping over to my Fundraising Page and showing your support for both me, and Team RWB?
18days....

Another Tornado Update
It appears that NOAA has confirmed 23 tornados ripped through Alabama on 4/27. Scary stuff. It has set a record with the most number in 24 hours, the longest path tornado, and sadly, the second deadliest outbreak in US history.

Absolutely scary stuff...

Tuscaloosa Tornados
Yesterday (4/27/2011) was considered a "rough day" weather wise. Numerous tornados touched down in multiple areas throughout the state of Alabama.
They originated from Mississippi moving NE through the state. It started yesterday morning (for us) with heavy winds around 0500 knocking lots of power out and downing trees before work. Wind speeds were listed as 80mph+ with gusts breaking 100mph. Scary stuff.
The area we live in lost power throughout most of the county and work was suspended.
To the South East in Tuscaloosa, it got worse as the day went on.
From the intersection of 15th St & McFarland. This video was taken from the mall parking lot:
This is the same tornado taken from the backside on The University of Alabama campus:

An interesting comparison from 15th Street in Tuscaloosa:
If you look in the top picture (click to enlarge) you'll see a small oil change center. While in college at The University of Alabama, I lived about 200yards behind there. It appears that neighborhood is now gone. Sad.
Another comparison:
Sadly, this same tornado system wasn't finished. It followed I-59 N out of Tuscaloosa, reformed and went through the Birmingham area as well. It went through the Concord, Pleasant Grove, Mulga, Fultondale, Gardendale and Cullman areas. More Photos
From early reports this morning, these storms are responsible for 128 deaths in the state of Alabama. Our president has declared the state of Alabama a Federal Disaster Area. The images, videos, and reports are quite scary.
Please keep the state of Alabama in your thoughts and prayers.

9 Months
 |
| A day or two old in the hospital (I just found this pic on my phone that Robert had taken---I love it!!) |
 |
| Hanging out at a track meet a couple of weeks ago. |
I can't believe we already have a 9 month old baby!! We had our 9 month well baby check up this week, and Annalise is doing great. She was able to gain a pound in 1 month bringing her up to a whopping 14lbs 4oz. She was just over 25 inches long and her head was about 17 inches around. She is learning new things everyday. Crawling has been pretty frustrating for her in the last week or two, but it has now seemed to click. I guess it is time to get the gates out and start baby proofing the house!! Clapping and waving are also new tricks that she is picking up on everyday. Just thought I'd share a couple of my favorite pictures of her at the moment. Hope everyone has a great day!

Crawling
Someone has learned to crawl. Just a night ago she was learning how to balance on her knees...
And so the fun begins...

Thanks Bethany
While I was out of the house today, Bethany decided to help me get a little support for Team Red White & Blue, without my knowing.
Check out what she did...

If that doesn't make you want to check out Team Red White & Blue, I'm not sure what will!
