Quote of the Day:
"I wanted to get the key before they realized that my 3 children are adults" (dad's response when we asked him why we had waited in the van while he checked into the hotel :)
Charlie read his whole Gary Larson comic book. (Kevin, I'm working on "Brink of Delirium", not reading it. Krissy, you can use "slam-jangled" however you want. Against such there is no law ;-)
Linz popped a twisted straw at Lone Star (this is monumental...) And took a picture of the best dressed person in Alabama (you can take a wild guess from the pics above :)
Jenn blew her nose and coughed all day long. She listened to 19 tracks of Shane&Shane, and is pacing herself on the bag of sugar snap peas.
Mom thought she was going to die from the toxic fumes from the truck carrying railroad ties. She also checked in with Ariel, and nothing is happening on the baby front yet...
Dad didn't let anyone else drive (though I'll admit, nobody asked...this time :) His FAVORITE part of the day was turning around at the entrance to our neighborhood to return to the house for Jenn's graduation information packet (Nothin' like a great start to a long trip...:)
We started listening to the audio book "The Wednesday Wars" and we love it - yellow tights, white feathers and all. We laughed a lot.
Here's signing off with love from Birmingham, Alabama.
(sorry, guys, we had to delete the videos...they were taking too long to load...maybe we'll put 'em on youtube later and just link to them...)

nothing like a little shaneAMPERSANDshane to get over the allergies.
i mean i wouldn't know. i dont have allergies. but they are so good, im sure they wouldnt hurt.
Yay!! Love your blog!! =D
first of all, "those who love cookies love life" is AWESOME! I need to put that up somewhere so I can see it at any time of the day.... uh...i guess that would mean I would have to tattoo it on myself because that's the only thing I can see at any time of the day. hmm..
second of all - Laura JUST got pretty much the EXACT pair of sunglasses, Jenn. Gold, cool, aviator glasses from wall-y-world. :) must say, a very fine choice.
Aaron (sorry....Quincy) have you finished On The Run yet? better do it now while you are just sitting there. you won't want to put it down. don't say i didn't warn you!! tell Mr. Quann that my dad feels sorry for him, having to turn around. our family does it all the time and it drives dad nuts(not literally). loved the pics
You guys are hilarious! This is the best and most readable blog i have seen in a while... BTW Quincy looks rather stunning in plaid shorts...
Here's some humor for you guys (Ariel only thought a few were funny):
10 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity
1. At lunch time, sit in your parked car with sunglasses on and point a hair dryer at passing cars. See if they slow down.
2. Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
3. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it 'in'.
4. In the Memo field of all your checks, write 'For Smuggling Diamonds.'
5. Finish all your sentences with 'In accordance with the prophecy.'
6. Order a Diet Water whenever you go out to eat, with a serious face.
7. Specify that your drive-through order is 'To Go'.
8. Have your co-workers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Bottom. (this was not funny to me)
9. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream 'I won! I won!"
10. Tell your children over dinner, 'Due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go.'
steph: i have not finished on the run, but i'm 'bout, well, more than halfway through. i 'speck to finish before our return voyage. it is very interesting...
aaron-adam: why thank you. ;-)
cheers!

I love that napkin!! Please say you kept it :)
So...are you all at Cracker Barrel in that last picture? Cause those are definitely Cracker Barrel-esque chairs.
i don't know if the napkin was salvaged or not. one can only hope. it is in God's hands now...
kevin, we were at the alabama welcome center. we haven't eaten at cracker barrel.
cheers!

Oh my goodness, if the posts don't crack me up (which they usualy do) the comments will!! I loved Matt's list of "Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity"!!! That was great!
Jarod has that book of farside comics that you read Aaron. It was a great source of entertainment while we were in Georgia! You know, when Zeke was sleeping and it was boring or something :)
