You need to come set some goals for us. :)
Anyone have any ideas on growing more hairs on one's head? This spray-on stuff does nothing.

Benson's goals are pretty amazing for a little guy! 2 tangentials...
1.) We had a nightmarish travel situation reminiscent of your previous post this Christmas, and it brought me some odd comfort amidst all the stress to know that someone else had lived through that terror. Puking kids on planes and in airports =sheer misery.
2.) I love watching all the videos you post- your most recent one "the unexpected gift" made me cry.
Love love love reading your blog posts- they always manage to put a smile on my face :)
I find it pretty funny that Clara still hasn't mastered some of Cole's and Benson's goals (namely blowing her nose, tying shoes, swimming the width of the pool, etc. Haha! Well, we're all a work in progress, right? :-) I sure do miss you, Karisa--hope you're surviving the winter up there.
I love these goals guys! So I had the thought the other day to make a goal to yodel too! HA! It must be in the genes. Marcus' grandfather made that goal once and taught himself to yodel and was apparently a very great yodeller... a very worthy and well-deserving effort to make!! :)
And as for growing hairs on your head - thyroid medication? ha! j/k Try Argon Oil shampoo - I bought some b/c I was losing some hair and it works! (either that or my thyroid meds are working!) Good luck!
