We rented Elebits and Rayman for the Wii. Elebits is alright but requires tons of aiming and shooting using the wii-mote. Rayman is tons of fun. There are a lot of mini-games that you have to beat and then you go up levels. The mini games are challenging - but not too easy and it’s really a funny and entertaining game.
Mii loves wii.

Being a homeowner is sometimes amazing…and then when things break - it sucks!
We actually refinanced our house a couple of years ago and took out a home equity loan. Instead of having a 30 year loan we were able to go down to 15 years for only a couple hundred more dollars a month. The best thing to do is shop around and then negotiate the fees.
Home equity loans actually allow you to take money out of the value of your house to use for home improvements or really for anything!
Of course…do remember…you still have to pay the money off!

Unbelieveable.
MADRID, Spain (AP) — A 67-year-old Spanish woman became the world’s oldest mother after she gave birth to twins in the northern city of Barcelona on Saturday, a hospital official said.
The woman, whose identity has not been revealed by Sant Pau hospital, gave birth by Caesarian section on Saturday, having previously undergone in vitro fertilization in the United States, according to the national news agency EFE.
Originally from the southern region of Andalucia, the new mother chose the Barcelona hospital because it specializes in high-risk births.
The mother and twins are all doing well, though the babies are both in incubators, a hospital spokeswoman said. The hospital did not reveal the gender of the twins.
The previous holder of the oldest-mother record was 66-year-old Romanian citizen Adriana Iliescu, who gave birth to baby Eliza Maria in January 2005.

Tonight the adults (Margot, Dennis and me) went out for a fantastic dinner and dessert. We had dinner at the tapas restaurant Just a Taste and then went over to Madeline’s for their amazing desserts.
It was nice to have an uninterruped meal and not have to worry about Grammy running free in the restaurant or harassing other patrons.
We had great conversation, good food, and overall a nice time.
Then we picked Graem up….
and boy did we miss her! Of course, she was the topic of many conversations at the dinner table. On the way home from Laura and Lydia’s Grammy broke out in full song singing “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “ABC’s”. It was a family affair in the car and we all ended up singing and even harmonizing too!
A great night was had by all….and now we get to play Wii!
Of course, this isn’t to say that I didn’t get sad today. I did cry once in the bathroom at Just-A-Taste… but this too shall pass. The whole pregnant waitress thing and small baby sitting next to us was like an instant tear alarm.
