6TH MONTH CHECKUP TODAY

Well I have to go to the dentist office today for my 6th month checkup and believe there allot of other things that I would rather do than go to the dentist. Hopefully they won't find anything wrong and I won't to go back for another 6 months. I talked to Scott last night and he hopes to be back online today or tomorrow, he has all of his tv's back up an running now and getting the computer back up going is the next thin on his agenda. His garage door opener isn't working either because of the lightning strike but that doesn't matter in Georgia since most garages don't have doors on them. How about those Washington Redskins knocking off the Philadelphia Eagles last night 20-12, with the win the Skins are tied with Dallas for he top spot in the NFC East at 2-0. The Richmond Braves will play in the AAA baseball championship game tonight on ESPN2 against the Sacramento River Cats at 8pm. Don't forget to vote in the latest poll to to the right of your screen.

Plan Healthy Family Meals
Families that regularly eat healthy dinners together often encourage children to make healthier food choices.

Here are suggestions on how to make family dinners both healthy and convenient, courtesy of the National Dairy Council:

* Plan to include three servings of milk, cheese or yogurt per day to boost calcium intake.
* Use the Food Guide Pyramid as a tool to make sure your family is getting plenty of nutrients. Choose different foods from each of the categories to keep variety in your family's diet.
* Plan your meals ahead, and buy groceries in advance. This can help prevent opting for an easy, less healthy option when nothing else is available.
* Keep plenty of healthy ingredients on hand so that it's easy to prepare a quick, healthy meal at home.
* While it's good to include some of the family's favorite foods and dishes in your meals, it's also important -- especially for children -- to try new foods and develop new tastes.
