Water towers... who knew?

I have been meaning to post a list of things I learn... daily because it seems I do still learn something new each day... one thing that has been on my mind is the things children make you aware of... The moon in the daytime... train tracks... flags... and water towers...

Who knew just how many water towers there were? I mean really?!?! Annabelle can spot them a mile (or more) away and is so excited and proud to announce to me WATER TOWER!!!!!! when she spots one in the distance... It has gotten me thinking, just what is the use for all these water towers? I mean, I can see having them in farming areas but there are plenty that are in towns and in the suburbs.. What do we use these water towers for? Does anyone know? Emergency water? I doubt it... I know I could do a search on Yahoo or Google but that isn't any fun. ... so you tell me, what are water towers used for and why do we need so many of them... :)

Tonight we went to Ally's birthday party in Nashville... she turned 6 or 7, depending on who you ask... haha kidding, she turned 7 and we all went to the Hermitage.. the home of President Andrew Jackson... We all really had a great time.. they have ghosts roaming around, a hay ride, pumpkin painting and lots of other things to do.. I will post photos once I download them... Annabelle as did the other kids wore her costume, nemo... she was tooo cute and got many comments on how cute she was... (no I am not bragging! haha) she really is just adorable in this costume.. you'll see... :) We ended up leaving earlier than the others due to my drive home and Annabelle was about maxed out.. Thanks to Cerae for the wonderful evening.. I really enjoyed it..

Annabelle fell asleep on the way home and once we got home and she woke, the first word out of her mouth was "GHOSTS!!!" and some mumble.. too funny, it seems the spooks in the garden had an impact on her.. I had no idea she knew what "ghosts" were or to be scared of them... interesting..

Tomorrow John gets home.. yeah!! as of now, Annabelle thinks he is sleeping when she gets up and he isn't here.. she always tells me to be quiet "shhhhh" so I don't wake him.. it is very cute... we are looking forward to him being home for a few days!
Tomorrow is 32 weeks! that is a big day in my book... AJ should be weighing about 4 pounds and is running out of room... I hope Amber is able to sleep and isn't too uncomfortable..

Ok... it seems I am rambling... I need to go to bed..

Love to you all... prayers for Odie, though he is feeling better and as always for our soldiers..
