Gavin Update and World Map

Quick Gavin update. He is doing MUCH better. Amazing what a little fluid, a lot of sleep and a humidifier can do. We have an appointment tomorrow with his doc for a follow up as well as to discuss putting him on steroids for asthma. If he has asthma, the steroids will help. If not, then they won't. So we shall see. Like I said, it is going to be a long winter.

On to some humor. We have a world map in our family room above the couch. It is the "Taber Family Travel" map. It has various pins in it to mark where we have been as a family.

Fast forward to this afternoon, Mike and I are having a conversation on the other couch in the living room while the boys are napping. Mike says, "Wait don't move!" and pulls a pin out of the cushion behind my head. We both look at it and then the map on the wall, where we notice ALL the PINS are MISSING. I then fish all the pins out of the cushion. When Luke did this, I have no idea. So after dinner, while we are having some family time playing, Mike asks Luke, "Hey Luke, did you take the pins out of the map?" Luke: "Yes, I put them in the couch cushion so Gavin couldn't get them." Mike and I look at each other and have to chuckle under our breath. Now whether or not Luke did this because Gavin was after the pins or if it was for sheer boredom, we'll never know.

I look at Mike and say, "See, this is why we can't have nice things!"

Hehehe... this reminded me of when I was little, my grandparents had a huge map of where they had been and my little brother and I used to move the pins around. No one ever said anything so I'm not sure if they noticed or not :)
