The Random







March Madness is underway and we've watched more
games than usual because the boys have been under
the weather with RSV. Max has actually been worse
than Silas and he has been doing all the home treatments
just so we don't have to chalk up another hospital bill. Brig
considers it a blessing (not because of the extra basketball
games we can watch) because we remember what really
matters and life is simple when you just have to take
care of sick kids. Life has shut down for a few days and we
have been snuggling with our ballies. Max has been especially
sweet, just smiling and shrugging his shoulders through
all his meds, breathing treatments, and barfing. Today
we knew he was feeling better because he started
teasing Peanut again and making her scream. It had been
so quiet in the house. Last week, we made it to the
park a few times and Aunt Josie came out for a quick
visit, which was too short but very nice. She showed us
the equinox broom trick and the kids thought it was pretty
sweet. One picture shows Brig at the dinner table. He made
one of his favorite Japanese dishes called Chicken Katsu.
It was so yummy. It was complete with rice, a vinegar cucumber
cold noodle salad and the special sauce. I love it when he
cooks - it's always such a treat to enjoy something so delicious.

7 Months! It's hard to catch him on camera NOT smiling.
