Ben had a scary stint in the hospital with Influenza A. I have a picture of him from the night before he went to the emergency room. I was thinking he was just really tired and cute as he passed out holding his toys. It was a scary couple days but seemed to leave as quickly as it came. We learned that he's quite a fighter, and it is truly difficult to make someone--even a 3-yr old--do something really don't want to do...ask the IV nurse.

Other pictures are much more fun. Hockey season wrapped up with Luke having made incredible progress. Compare this video with the previous video. He can stop, put the stick on the ice, fly backwards. A lot of fun for Dad.

Another set of pictures from our trip to Burlington, VT where the Ahmann's and Caputo's are literally next door neighbors. I shared an office with both of them at Hanscom AFB in 1994, and now they're members of the Burlington ANG Green Mountain Boys flying F-16's...nearly running the show nonetheless. Unfortunately, Chris Caputo is a Yankee's fan. When the Foster boys showed up wearing Red Sox shirts, he tried to cover them up with some sacrilege. There's a great action shot Luke giving him the Fenway fight...or is it bite?
