There is something to be said for a dinner of plain ol' home-roasted chicken, homemade gravy, mashed potatoes, and veggies.

So Rick had a fever for two or three days and no other symptoms to speak of. This sounded familiar... Didn't rephetibel  tell me about her brother Rick doing this? He'd go to bed with a fever and be taller when he got up.

So I measured my Rick, and lo and behold: He's grown almost 1/4" since January 1st and is now 4' 4" even. I swear, I can *watch* him grow ( Read more... )
