Family Updates

Will:

Just returned from his annual "mancation" to the March Madness Basketball tournament. This year's games were in Kansas City, where Will consumed enough BBQ'd red meat to last him until next year's trip. We are happy to have him home.

Audra:

Researching and selecting items for our bathroom remodel, scheduled to start next month. Tile samples, anyone? While we aren't doing anything too fancy, I am so excited to scrap the semi-derailed shower doors and crumbling plywood vanity drawers. Bye, bye 1978 bathroom!

Ethan:

Has suddenly become very grown-up. Asks me every night if I remembered to turn on the dishwasher, dutifully washes his hands after each and every time his little brother spits at him, asks me constantly if he has bad breath, and starts to have a panic attack if I put my keys in the ignition of the car before his seat belt is buckled. It's good we have him around to keep us all in line.

Luke:

After our little talk about "what happens to the leaves that fall from trees?" Luke is our resident expert on the process of decomposition. Except he pronounces it decomposin' and uses the word in just about any context--like when he told me, "Mom, I think your face might be decomposin!"

Baby-T0-Be:

Has been named George by Luke. Has been named Henry by Ethan. Still remains nameless to his parents. We get to take a peek at him during a 3-D ultrasound on Thursday with the perinatologist, who will also hopefully tell me everything looks good to stay off of bedrest.
