Re: Round-up

I should start by saying that this last weekend Caren and I did purchase some Round-Up to help keep our crab grass in our front yard under control. It is very difficult to keep Adam and Kip away from the poison as they want to help so much. Adam even went so far as to get our Weed-B-Gone, which kills most everything except crab grass, thus it is good to use on the grass.

Now for our little family. I will start with myself. Classes officially started yesterday. I see it most as I walk on campus. there are a lot of people here. The summer seems to have allowed my mind to forget how busy campus gets during the main semesters. Research is doing well. I recently got to 'play' with liquid nitrogen. It was fun even if it was also difficult to get it to where we wanted it to be.

As for my beautiful wife: she continues to amaze me. She works hard on a daily basis to play/work with our boys. She continuously looks for oportunities to help our boys underdeveloped skills to grow. This of course is a tiring job and I know she looks forward to when I come home in the evening.

Adam is loving riding the bus to school. We are so excited that his speach is improving so much that he is talking in sentences to us now. We are thrilled to say the least.

Kip is showing some improvement in his theorpies. He is lengthing his attention span on the different activities that Caren and/or his theorpist play with him. He has recently rediscovered TJ Berrytales; a modern Teddy Rupskin.

So that is us in a nut shell. I hope you are all doing well. SKT
