Quick Takes

1) Something I didn't expect to hear Jim say for another 12 years... "no, you can't drive Kaden. Now stop whining and get into your seat."

2) Something I never expected to say so soon: "Finish your eggs before you cheer for the Steelers."

3) Since our January trip to Orlando, we have been suprised that Kaden recognizes Mickey- and says his name. Until yesterday, when a friend gave him a stuffed Goofy, which he also calls Mickey.

4) Kaden took his first marriage prep class today. We're not sure he took it seriously, though.

5) Since his hospital stay and "quarantine" (a total of 3 weeks mostly at home), Kaden has become a bit shy around folks he used to run up and hug. He's barely said HI to our regulars the last few days. But if you give him a mic and put him in front of a crowd of strangers, he's Mr. Social !

6) Way too many mommas are familiar with the term "nebulizer." It's comforts me as an individual mom, but scares me when I think of communal implications.

7) Why is it that when we bring Northern visitors to "Manatee Park" - there are NO manatees around? But when it's just us and we stop by for a half hour or so, we can count OVER 25 in one spot? Including 3 adorable babies?

Ugh - the asthma thing, I know! I know three boys around this same age who are on using inhalers of some sort... The bright spot is that Harper used one for a couple of years and has now been off it since December, despite several bad colds. I'm hopeful she has outgrown this particular complication and that Michael will also outgrow it in time.

Someday you'll have to take us to see the Manatees - though it may be a while before we get back to Florida.

Hope all is well with you guys!
