Dave, me, Reid before we froze our butts off.  The beard helped.  Its gone now.  Zoe is happy about that. Esme already sticking her tongue out at the camera?

I'd better shut up now:)  As for this week.  Esme is doing fantastic and has gotten another chin off of her liebfraumilch diet.  Ash is doing well and is making the lovenox/coumadin transition to hopefully make this blood clot a memory only... and a bad one at that.  Adia is pretty much at that all around amazing stage - so sweet with Esme, so coordinated, so bald, an
