Kids

It it stinking cold here! It's getting down to 43 tonight so I picked the end of the tomatoes and brought them in to ripen. Last night Presbyboy hit his head on the side of our stone fireplace and cut a nice gash, right in the middle of the back of the head he has never really had a bad cut before and we have only once taken him to the ER when he was 18 m and was having difficulty with breathing anyway...the cut was giving out an amazing amount of blood so we rushed him to the ER, after we were in the car he calmed down and was loving the attention, he didn't even cry when they cleaned his head and stapled him, yes my poor boy has a lovely staple in the back of his tiny, blond head! Hes such a sweet heart and was being extra adorable to the nurses. Poor Reverend Dr about had a heart attack at the sight of our bloody child be he too has recovered.

Ok, I realize its been more then a month since I posted, I can tell by all the comments wondering where I was that I was sorely missed. Life is busy as usual our Siamese cat was in the process of dying, hes had congestive heart failure for 4 years and he' only 5 1/2 I thought for sure he would be going under soon, well I tweaked some of his medicine and he has rallied!!! I guess you can't kill a good cat that easily. However he really doesn't want to be engaged in play as much as the Presbykids would like him to be and I am wondering is we should get another cat. (in addition to Calvin) I hate the smell of dog, yes, even a clean dog and in this area it gets too cold to keep
them in the garage. I like the *idea* of a dog as a companion to a little boy, but I have come to the conclusion I just don't like the amount of poop removal involved either, I am responsible for enough little kid poop at the moment.
