I'm too exhausted tonight to write about all the emotion I feel when I think about my baby sister going to college tomorrow. It really hit me tonight when I hugged her good-bye after eating dinner with my parents and Caitlin. It's not like she's going very far away...but it will be a new world for her. College was such a growing experience for me. I can't wait to see who Caitlin becomes. Of course, she's perfect as is.

So this is a short blog to write about something Jake did while we were at Nana and Granddaddy's house. Apparently, the "director gene" is hereditary. Tonight while the rest of us ate dinner, Annie played on the floor. At one point, she took Jake's wand (it was a wooden spoon; he'd been watching Harry Potter), and he took it back from her.

Annie frowned and whined a little. Jake took his bread from his plate, which apparently was doubling as both a slate board and a camera.

He pointed at Annie with the bread, said, "Okay, action! Now, cry," and started "filming" (by putting his bread up to his eye).

And she did.

So we've got a director AND an actress for offspring. What in the world did they inherit from me??
