Update time

Here's all the news that's fit to print...

Zach is doing as well as can be expected. He seems to have adjusted to his cast finally. Of course it is going to need to be changed in the next two weeks or so. Hopefully the new one will be similar enough to this one so that he won't notice a difference. We're hoping for him to be placed into a brace, rather than a cast, at some point - but he probably isn't ready for that yet.

Zach has been standing up and walking with assistance, which is a really good sign. He is still up on his toes though. I think we are going to wait until summer to get his ankles casted, but that's up in the air for now. Once that is done, he should be able to walk flat footed again.

In other news, Josh's baseball season is upon us. I've taken the plunge and am the head coach for the team this season. We've managed to lose our first two games by a combined score of 25 to 8, but hopefully we'll get it turned around here sometime soon. On the good side of things we can't get much worse! It's all improvement from here on out...

We took the kids to the Renaissance Fest last weekend. It's quite an umm..... experience. Brandon was a bit freaked out at first because everyone is in costume, and there is a ton of activity going on. He eventually got over it and seemed to have a good time. I actually felt bad for some of those people in costume because it was about 85 degrees out. (In mid-February - gotta love the South Florida weather.) The was even a guy walking around in a full suit of armor. I'm thinking that guy had to be really hating life that day.

Now, if you work there and have to dress in costume I can understand it. That's your job. What I can't understand though are the freaks that don't work there, but dress up in the costumes anyway. Are they trying to fit in better? Show their dedication to late 15th century Europe? C'mon people - that's like wearing a Mickey Mouse costume when you visit Disney World. No - the people working there don't think you're cool because you have "Renaissance" clothes to wear. They think you're a dork. Oh yea, they aren't impressed by the "Olde English" accent you are trying to use while ordering your frozen lemonaide either.
