We thought Rasacal was dying on Wed a.m. but he perked back up. Here is yesterday....

Quick Misc Thoughts and Sounds….

I have a “belly buddy”. Guess what Zander meant. {g}

(Pounding on the door while Jared (12) takes a shower) “Jared, turn the water OFF – you’re wasting water!”

We’ve progressed to the point with Zander that he can now reason. Formerly, if you’d tell him not to do something or to do something you’d have a huge meltdown. We skipped the whole “why” stage. Yesterday I asked him to leave something alone. He said in a very respectful, inquisitive voice, “why”. I explained that “Grandpa gave that to Mommy and it is very special to her” and he said “Oh, ok ” and left it alone. Progress.

We’ve been busy getting ready to leave town.

We’ve also been busy with the seasonal aspects of the church calendar. Wed we had a Passover dinner. Thursday Mike was in “The Living Last Supper” and we all attended. Today there is a 3:00 service at the base as well as a showing of *The Passion of Christ* at the chapel.

I’ll update more later today.
