Introducing the newest member of our family...

....Twardin. There will be no pictures as Twardin is Patrick's imaginary baby. (Yes folks, we definitely get the hint. However, Twardin will be able to walk before we will start working on that.) This member of our family joined us a week ago today. He shows up occassionally, but is more on the shy side. He has made it to school according to Patrick's teachers, but doesn't seem to get in as much trouble as Patrick. (When Matthew picked up Patrick today he was in the Assistant Director's office for slapping someone. -Oh and when I asked him if we are suppose to hit, his response "Oh let me think about it (while pointing his finger to his chin)---uh No.")

I am told by one of the doctors in our pediatrican's office that this is normal and that to expect him to be more on the creative side and above average in school. His advice - don't encourage or discourge - acknowledge. So acknowledge we will do.

So Twardin we are so glad to have you join our family. Maybe you can remind Patrick when he gets mad to stomp his feet and not take a swing at someone. Think you can do that for us?

LeAnna, Matthew, and Patrick
