Adorable TidBits




Okay, next Dillon Family Update. First off, the picture above is Brayden sleeping on the couch (very cute). The next picture is Kyler just after his first Birthday with spaghetti sauce all over his face, and the picture below that is Brayden at the same age with spaghetti sauce all over his face. You can really tell that they are brothers.

Sarah is now working out of her new office in Warrensville Heights. It's just about as far away as her old office, but now it's all city streets, whereas before it was all freeway, so she's getting a lot less gas mileage. She is also doing a GREAT job of hitting the gym on a regular basis and she's finding that she has a lot more energy now.
I (Steve) has been on a relatively lighter rotation this past month which does not have any weekend or overnight call responsibilities. It's nice and there is a lot more free time, but I feel like I'm getting spoiled and I'm starting to dread going back into the main OR's in a few months.
Brayden and Kyler continue to do things almost every day that make us go "Awwwe". Just a few days ago, Sarah was picking up Brayden from day care and the report from day care was that he took a very good nap, so Sarah told him "Brayden, I'm so proud of you for taking a nap today!" Then Brayden replied, "Mommy, I'm so proud of you for letting me know that!" And then just this morning, Sarah wanted Brayden to try on some new pants that she bought for him and told Brayden that she had bought him something "special" for him and wanted him to come see. He responded with a very grouchy "It's just pants!"
Kyler is starting to get really fun as he is learning more and more communication skills. He gets so excited whenever I get home and he just sprints over to see me. He usually is holding some toy (or the TV remote control) in his hand and when he sprints over to see me, he usually offers it to me! He is starting to give kisses to me and Sarah and he absolutely LOVES to wrestle around with his big brother. We could spend hours just watching those to kids chase each other around the house and tackle each other. We have to remind Brayden not be too rough sometimes, but overall they play great together.
We recently had to have some major work done on the car which was not fun. It started off as just the "check engine soon" light came on even though the car was running fine. It turned out that there was about $1600.00 worth of work that needs to be done. Ouch.
Living in Cleveland, it's hard to be Detroit sports fans, so we went out last weekend and bought the whole family Detroit Tigers baseball caps. We plan on wearing them whenever we watch the Tigers on TV or hopefully we can make it to some Tigers/Indians games this year at "Progressive Field" (Formerly Jacobs Field) when they play there.
