Kevin’s family takes the daily newspaper. Every morning at breakfast the paper gets divvied up and spread across the table so various family members can read various sections. Often I’ll come downstairs and find still-sleepy-eyed family members, in their pajamas, munching on toast and reading the paper.
In the past I’ve never thought it worthwhile to pay for the newspaper to be delivered when you can get it for free online. But I think I’m starting to change my mind about that. There’s something quite nice about sitting comfortably at your breakfast table and reading the local news from a medium that doesn’t beam light into your eyes.
Reading the paper simultaneously with other people is also kind of fun. It’s truly a bonding experience. Especially when Laura exclaims, “Look at this!” Or Colin announces that some company’s stocks are doing well. Or Shannon starts a crossword puzzle and everyone else decides to join-in too.
This past week there was a particularly interesting local news story – a tragic case of mistaken identity at the coroner’s office. Check it out if you have time.

That is one crazy news story! How sad for everyone involved!
Great!!
We're so happy to hear you guys are doing well and getting settled in Indiana. Routine can definately be nice, but I'm sure you are anxious to get into a house of your own, and restart your little family's routine. We sure miss you all -- I cannot believe Meredith is almost one year old!
Great!!
