Well… it would seem that Zane’s “southernization” is complete.

He was talking at the dinner table about his school day when, in mid-sentence, he used the word “y’all”.

It flowed effortlessly out of his mouth.

Carmi’s head whipped around. “Did you hear what he said?!?”

It’s possible he may have used that word before but this was the first time we actually noticed it.

{sniff} My boy is really one of us now.

Karys hasn’t fully grasped the idea that soccer isn’t intended to be a full-contact sport.

It’s the best we could do at the time…

Zane and I had a guy’s afternoon out and went to a matinee showing of Iron Man 2. I thought it would be good for him and I to do something together… alone… since Eliana practically smothers the poor guy.

One negative was that the theater was packed out and we had to sit r-e-a-l-l-y close to the screen. Which meant that it was r-e-a-l-l-y loud. In fact, Zane commented about the volume after just a few minutes into the movie. But popcorn helped him overlook the decibel level.

I really liked the movie. It certainly wasn’t Oscar material but then I didn’t expect it to be. It’s all about the suit, baby.
