Hello!

I forgot to relay some good news that we got about Ethan recently.  He has grown 5 centimeters (that's about 2 inches for you non-metric folk) since the beginning of February!  I'm so relieved because one of the possible side effects of his currents meds was that the bone ends could fuse prematurely, effectively stopping growth.  It looks like he has a good chance to catch up to other little boys his age in the coming years.

All our boys will be coming to see our children's concert this weekend.  Both David and I will be playing, and it's especially important to David as he doesn't do as much playing as he used to, so he's really looking forward to having the boys see him "live in concert."  It's a very silly program with MCs, and we get to wear bath robes almost the whole time as part of the story.

It's late here, so I'll make this short.  Thanks for stopping by!
