I stole this photo off Matt's FB page.

Reptile day

Gorgeous weather today so the kids came with me to the park. In our favorite froggy pond we saw some tadpoles and a frog the size of my palm, sunning himself by the water. And not far away, something I haven't seen before - an orange garter snake, at least 15 inches long. Unfortunately, Roxy went running by and scared him off before I could get a photo.

Update on Caleb's wrist

We saw the orthopedist this afternoon, and got new xrays. She (Dr Danielle Katz!) said that the resident (Dan) did a great job setting it and putting on the cast, and that it's healing very well. We have to go back one more time, next week - she said that if it's still in place after two weeks, it will almost always heal correctly. She said he should wear the cast about 6 weeks total, so that's only 5 more weeks. (It'll be off in plenty of time for summer swimming!) We're so glad that it's healing right and of course we're (still) grateful we have insurance!

Cheap eats

Texas Roadhouse is mentioned prominently in this FRONT PAGE story (in USA Today's Money section) about restaurant chains luring customers.
