No more pacifier for Tristan

After more wintry weather these past few days, we now have about a foot of snow on the ground, and I still haven’t managed to dig out the driveway…Even I am beginning to long for Spring. It’s nice to have Michele and the younger children home again after they were gone for a week, staying with my in-laws. While they were there, Michele managed to wean Tristan from his pacifier — AT LAST. In celebration, we threw a party for him on Saturday. He is growing up so quickly! Michele and I and the kids are looking forward to a trip to Florida. We’ll fly from Indianapolis to Orlando and then drive to New Smyrna Beach, where my brother, Jeff, has rented a townhouse for a week. My mother will be there, too, and so will my brother, Dan. It’ll be a fun time, and we hope for some warm weather. I’ve never been to Florida, and neither has Michele.
