A Smorgasbord of Sorts

If you've followed this blog with any regularity at all, you know that

a big part of each day is trying to get Kean to eat.

Forget drug pushers, I'm a food pusher-- of all things fattening and calorie laden.

So here's where this little story gets good.
I left Kean in the very able hands of  Mr. Barker while I took the girls to church.

When we got home, Kean was in bed asleep.

Check.

When I asked how well he had eaten at lunch...

here's what Byron told me they had:

lots of Goldfish, a few bites of banana and a glass of water.

Yikes.

In his defense, Byron said Kean seemed perfectly happy with "the spread".

So much for a healthy, high calorie lunch.

Thankfully, he woke up happy and ate a huge dinner!

And thankfully, Byron makes up for being a great father in other areas!



 One other note, in Phoenix last night Todd and Julie Johnson's family (see if you can follow this-- Todd is my

sister-in-law's Dana's brother-- and they are like my in-laws), particpated in the Light the Night Walk to raise money

to fight Leukemia.

Natalie is one of their three children.  She is holding a picture of Kean and of (Dana and Todd's brother) Erik

who died of Leukemia as a teenager.

They walked in honor of these two.

Thank you.  I'm at a loss for words

It is these acts of unbelieveable love and kindness that give us the strength to face another day and another week.
