The big news in our house is that Kyla now has braces. At first she thought it would be really cool to have braces, but then she got them put on. Now, she realizes its a little uncomfortable, but she still has the prettiest silver smile I ever saw. She has to wear them for the next year and a half. At least now they have these cool colors you can add to them every time she goes in for an appointment. The dog gone things should play mp3's with as much as they cost!
As for Casey, he was watching TV this morning and has come up with a new career idea. He saw John Walsh on a commercial and now thinks it would be great to work for the Center of "Missing and Exploded Children". He says he doesn't know what it is, but it sounds cool!
Over the last month, I had more time off than I knew what to do with and I was glad to get back to the grind. That is, until I went back to the grind. When is my next vacation? Well, at least it's NFL playoff weekend and my plan to transform Misty into a football fanatic worked to such perfection that we are both counting down the minutes to kickoff.
While mom was here, she taught us how to play canasta and now we play it just about every free chance we have. The problem is that Misty is a little bit better at it than I am and we are both learning what a poor loser I can be. Any canasta wizards out there need to email me their tips because my pride is on the line. I have already had to fake sneeze, fake choke, and even had a fake seizure to mess up all the cards on the table when things were looking bad. I'm running out of material!
