I'm home with Parker today because he has a 'touch' of Pneumonia. With Kallsen breaking his clavicle, me getting strep, Kallsen getting Pneumonia over the weekend and now Parked getting sick...not to mention Joseph needing braces, January has made me feel like we're running and living in a hospital ward.
Maybe with February only a couple days away better health for my family awaits.

Braces
All three boys went to the dentist yesterday. Both Parker and Kallsen have a partial cavity and Joseph needs braces. So in February Joseph will have his first visit to the orthodontist.
We've known that Joseph will need braces...it's now time.

Fred Thompson Interview
The interview/Town Hall Meeting went well. I'll post more later. Here's a picture that was taken this morning.
Thompson ended up finishing 3rd in South Carolina. And with that finish I do believe the hopes of Thompson supporters have been dashed. Talk in SC is his campaign did some damage to others in the race.
A lot of conservative radio talk show host have called Thompson the only true conservative and the only candidate will bring us back to the Reagan glory days. Maybe the powers that be will learn that the country doesn't want to go back to the Reagan days but instead want to move forward, not backward.

Winter Storm
A winter storm hit the upstate of South Carolina last night. We received a couple of inches of wet snow. Some downed tree limbs and downed power lines. No school today and a delay tomorrow.

Two boys struggle
My youngest two sons are in my charge each morning. And while I'm still trying to get over having strep I was doing my best to get the boys dressed, fed and to school without breathing in their direction or having much contact. And it went pretty well this morning.
And then we left the house. And first Parker wanted to close the door on the porch. And then Kallsen wanted to close the door. So we opened the door again so Kallsen could close it too. Then Parker needed to be the last one to close the door. So we opened it again so Parker could close the door. And then, guess what? Kallsen thought he should close the door...one more time. So we opened the door again and this time the boys closed the door together.
Reminds me of the Cat Song that Garrison did years ago on a Companion.

Political Interview
I have been asked by the Fred Thompson campaign to host/moderate a town hall meeting with the candidate on January 18th. I will be given 15 minutes to ask my own questions before turning over questioning to the audience.
What would you ask a Fred Thompson?

What I know...that I didn't before the Holiday Break
I believe you're never to old to learn and I am aware of when I learn something new. Something that I didn't know before or I didn't realize before. And it amazes me the amount of things I learn from my three boys.
Over the holidays, while the boys were home from school, here are some of the things I learned...
-A stuffed monkey from the Dollar General beats anything else a child could receive for Christmas. At least when you're two years old.
-20 degrees in Seneca, SC is much colder to a 3 year-old than zero degrees is in Iowa.
-Diego is much cooler than Dora.
-Flashlights are the coolest gadget in the world.
-Getting your children to brush their teeth doesn't get any easier.
-Children need a structured environment.
-A Broken bone doesn't slow a three year-old down.
-Kids would rather play games with their parents than watch TV when given the choice.
-As cool as you are to a two and three year-old is the same amount of uncoolness you are to an 11 year-old.
Those are just some of the things I learned over the holidays. Some of those things I knew once before but had forgotten. And one thing that I've always known is I would never give up these boys for anything in the world.
