One down fifteen more to go...

Kai got his first tooth today....Yay. Jasmine also has a first to report. She got her first haircut/ trim yesterday. Her curls were getting into her eyes so they got a trim. And more good news Baby Leo may be able to come home today.

Baby Leo

My brother and Sister in law just had their second child last night. Leo was born four weeks early, and at just under six pounds he is just tiny. Because he was premature he is having breathing problems and is on a respirator. He will be transferred from Rhinelander to Marshfield today to be in an NICU (or IICU depending on what they call it there). Although he has had a little bit of a hard start, he should come out of this just fine and Kai will have a playmate as they get older. My thoughts a prayers go out to my brother and sister in law that they stay strong through this rough time.

Making friends at REI

It never ceases to amaze me the intellegence of some people especially when it comes to lower management in retail stores. I pulled into REI today to do a little Christmas shopping and the snow is falling pretty heavy. I have already passed up about 10 cars stuck in the ditch and the weather is predicting up to an inch an hour, so after all is said and done I too probably should have stayed indoors.

So as I walk through the parking lot towards the door I notice a clerk outside shoveling in front of the store. Unfortunately it is coming down so hard as soon as he finishes an area he pretty much needs to go back to start over. Me being me, I couldn't help but look over at him as I passed by and comment "Well at least you have job security!" The murderous glare the guy gave me was anything but friendly.
