1. Jessica, mom, Halie, and Cooper came over to hang out during the day.
2. Tried more of the GroundsForChange coffee. Forestal is really good. The New Guinea coffee is alright, but it's a bit on the weak side.
3. Sophia walked from the kitchen to the dining room and then to the family room with only Susan's finger on her back for extra confidence.
4. Ate dinner at Logan's Roadhouse with everyone mentioned above (and Christopher).
5. Worked on D&D stuff for tomorrow's meeting.
6. Preregistered for Gen Con!

1. Wrote the Meeting 16 Adventure Log for Trees of Prophecy. Warning: unlike the blog, the adventure log is not ADD-friendly. http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaign/trees-of-prophecy/adventure-log
2. Watched a new show called Merlin. The first episode was interesting, I never thought I'd see Arthur as a high school jock / bully or Merlin as an angsty teenager.

1. Since it was Father's Day, Susan let me sleep in... Unfortunately, because the children have beaten an early wake-up time into me, I couldn't manage to sleep past 7:30. When I got up, I found that Susan had made me a loaf of blueberry banana bread.
2. After the kids' naps, we went over to Susan's parents' house for dinner. The kids played outside with the bubble grill for over an hour.
3. Jennifer Canada spent the night at our house.

1. I went to the park with Rainer. We saw some snorts (they're actually front loaders or something, but we call them "snorts" because of the "Are You My Mother?" book) in the parking lot. He sat in the scoop and got to touch the wheels and stuff, which is a first for him.
2. Jennifer Canada came over. She, Susan, and the kids went to the Strawberry Festival in downtown Noblesville. I stayed home and awaited party guests. Apparently, they do not actually sell strawberries at the Strawberry Festival, which was the only reason they went.
3. Susan's birthday party! Jennifer, Rory, Kapil, Christopher, Halie, Cooper, Chris McDonald and Brooke McDonald (Halie's mom and sister) attended. We grilled out burgers and hot dogs, had ice cream sundaes, and some booze.
4. Susan and I watched Death at a Funeral... It was a weird movie involving homoerotic love affairs with midgets, but seeing Hoban "Wash" Washburn (from Serenity / Firefly) whacked out of his mind on acid was pretty funny.

1. Went to an Irish pub in Fishers to hear some Kilt Rock. The music was good. I had a Killian's, which is now one of my favorite beers even though I drank way too many during Lee's bachelor party (see last Saturday). Susan had a Long Island Iced Tea and was totally drunk.

1. Looked at about a hundred tattoos with Susan, passed out on the couch.

1. Had a groundsforchange.com coffee tasting party this morning with Susan, Halie, the kids, mom, and Jessica. We tried Espresso Blend (didn't make good coffee), Humane Society Blend (really good, light roast), and Nordic Blend (excellent dark roast, my favorite, although it is a bit smoky).
2. Talked to Keith Jones and he tried to convince me to take a trip to NC in August to hang out and go to the Old Crow Medicine Show concert... Considering it.
3. Watched Role Models with Susan. It was a good movie, but it had the unfortunate side effect of making me want to join a LARP group...
4. Played Mount & Blade for an hour and a half.
5. Saw Scribblenauts previews... Must figure out how to play it once it comes out.

1. Went over to Christopher & Halie's apartment to hang out after the kids were in bed. Held Cooper for a while.
2. Finally got to see Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.
3. Watched Weeds: Season 5: Episode 1 with Susan. It gives me hope for the season (season 4 wasn't so hot).

1. Sophia will now take a few steps at a time on her own.
2. I received my 3 lbs of organic, shade-grown, fair trade, carbon free, etc., etc. etc. coffee from http://www.groundsforchange.com. So far, I've tried the Humane Society blend and it's pretty tasty... Looking forward to the Nordic Blend (it's a darker roast).
3. Rainer and Sophia actually played nicely together for about 20 minutes with the packing paper inside the coffee box.
4. Grilled out New York Strips... They were delicious!
5. I played about 3 hours of Mount & Blade.

1. Woke up on Lee and Sam's couch with hangover. Drove home. Vomited.
2. Forswore whiskey. Not all alcohol, just whiskey.
3. Dad, Sheila, Jessica, Christopher, Halie, and Cooper came over and hung out.
4. Susan, the kids, and I went over to Susan's parents' house for dinner.
5. Almost went to see the move "The Hangover," but didn't want to have flashbacks to this morning. Went to bed early instead.
Note: Best quote of the bachelor party, "If Sir Mix-a-Lot was a card, he would totally win." (was said during a drinking game of Apples to Apples)

1. Rainer got stitches removed from his head
2. The cat brought a live pigeon into the house and tried to kill it. Fortunately, we got the bird out of the house before there was any bloodshed... Unfortunately, there are feathers everywhere and we're going to have to get the carpets cleaned.
3. Racked mead (batch 2).
