Which is less now that he is 20! than when he was 2. hehe, between my two oldest children. My oldest who was at grandmas alot when Kyler was in the hospital likes hotdogs, hamburgers, mac and cheese. Hates veggies. Kyler who was in the hospital alot, loves fruits and veggies. heheKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10161414902354928622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-34978687086751425902008-06-04T14:30:00.000-07:002008-06-04T14:30:00.000-07:00Nice that you had a date....and a healthy dinner t...Nice that you had a date....and a healthy dinner to boot!<BR/><BR/>People understand when you don't want a gift, I think.

I have wanted to get involved with a project like that for some time now, but I can't seem to finish my own projects...starting another would not be good right now. Maybe sometime in the near future I can commit. <BR/>Good thoughts still coming from me!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08243640799364157263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-2259740419010376702008-06-04T07:59:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:59:00.000-07:00Awww, I love Project Linus.That is a ton of vegeta...Awww, I love Project Linus.<BR/><BR/>That is a ton of vegetables, sounds like a nice spread indeed. It's good that they try and alleviate as much frustration as possible byt giving you stuffies and food. I can't even imagine how rough it must be *with* those things, much less *without* them!ameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17523535460114457419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-88183283957801575042008-06-04T07:27:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:27:00.000-07:00Hi Mary Beth,My thoughts are with you and Rainer a...Hi Mary Beth,<BR/>My thoughts are with you and Rainer a lot these days. I really admire how strong you are and wish your little one all the best.<BR/><BR/>Also, I can totally relate to your 'date' comments! Isn't it amazing how our expectations change. A few years ago we had fairly extreme stress in our lives and very little money, which meant hardly ever seeing my husband and not being able to afford babysitters to go on a date. But one day we were racing around a local garden shop and took a short rest on a bench in their Japanese garden section with a wonderful stream. It was early morning, outside and one of the most relaxing, unexpected and enjoyable times that we had spent together in ages. Definite inexpensive future date potential!Irishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263953114906242593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8224074171829015497.post-46867264039630439382008-06-04T06:36:00.000-07:002008-06-04T06:36:00.000-07:00I pray for little Rainer.
