a typical saturday morning

Miles continues to annoy and aggravate Sophia. His goal is to make her mad. He does this day in and day out. I am pretty sure that he lives for this. In fact, in speaking with other people that are brothers, this seems to be ingrained in the brain of a brother.

Justin says to Sophia, "just ignore him. Don't let him bother you."
Sophia then retaliates back at Miles, Justin questions Sophia about why she did not just ignore Miles. and then she states, " Dad, sometimes, it is just easier to ignore you."

The Ladies Man

Miles is a man of many words, many faces, and many ladies of all different ages. Miles has figured out how to charm all the women that he meets. He has different girl friends of all ages, just not HIS age.

Any time we are at the hospital, he usually makes really good friends with all the nurses and they just love him. He can also milk it for all it is worth.

Today, when we were at Target, Miles found a little girl and her mom. He started talking to the little girl, asking her name. She was shy, so the mom answered and then the mom asked Miles some questions. After his lengthy answer, she said, "Wow, you are very smart for your age."

Miles' reply: "Yes, and I am also a Ladies Man."

I am sure that I turned red in the face, and laughed. He definitely knows how to work a crowd.

$10,000

Yes, this was a goal for me to reach for the AHA.

No, I did not actually think that I could reach $10K, especially in this economic state.

HOWEVER, MY CURRENT TOTAL IS $10,052.00

Tonight I received a call from PNC Bank. I had entered a contest where you could win $250 for your favorite charity and $250 for yourself. I was surprised to be called by PNC bank, let alone being told that I was chosen as the Grand Prize Winner. (those words sound pretty good together.)

I wanted to thank everyone who helped me reach my goal. For all the friends and family that took the time to donate. All of your support is greatly appreciated. I could not have done it without you!

THANK YOU!!
