I am in Omha for the weekend. We did a switcheraroo right after I landed and Kay and I drove the kids home in Rachael's car while they attended the temple. Rachael told me Aaron cries a lot at night so I put him in a bouncy baby seat and bounced him really hard with my foot and he was OK. Shaking baby syndrome? The kids were very helpful. Ethan came in with a bottle all made up, we questioned him, he said he watched his mom do it and he wanted us to tell her that he made the bottle all by himself. That would be mixing the proper amounts of powder and water. If you do it wrong constantly it is bad. Who knows if he put the right amount in or not. I guess Aaron won't die.
I went to free Saturday at a local Omaha Art museum. I took a tour of Diego Rivera's exhibit. I really enjoyed it. When Seth and Rachael arrived, I played with the kids while they went through the exhibit. The museum is free on Saturdays from 10-12. My kind of museum. It made me want to get trained on the permanent exhibit at BYU and share some of their ideas with BYU.
Last week Kay had to wear his sneakers to church as he forgot his Sunday shoes. I know he had an extra pair of shoes that I don't like so I had him search his closet floor. I got here and saw in his open closet a shoe bag hanging with 8 pair of shoes on it right in full view of the whole room. He now has 4 pair of Sunday shoes and discovered 3 more pair of sneakers. Rachael is related to her dad. Kay and I went to church and decided to walk home with the kids in the 35 degree weather. Rachael grabbed the coats on the rack all in a row and handed them to us. When we got home they discovered Jenna's coat was in the car and looks nothing like the coat they hijacked from church, Rachael said they were both pink. Seth was sent back to church to bring it back. 2 and a half year old Jenna seemed like she was enjoying her coat, who knew this wasn't hers, she wasn't about to tell us. She especially liked the new pockets.
Kay hates going to doctors. He had some bumps growing on him that were beginning to annoy him. (old age reminders) 2 on his face, 2 on his stomach, one on his breast. Naturally, he did what only he would think to do, took out a razor knife and removed them. He says the only difference between what he did and what the doctor would have done was anesthesia and a bill. They look like holes on him. with scabs over them. He knew to do it when I wasn't present.
Kay's sister has thyroid cancer and will have surgery next month with radiation and hormone replacement checks. We think she will be eligible for the downwinder settlement. It is the most treatable and curable cancer to get.
