Well, I'm glad you didn't get the email, and weren't just ignorning me!

As for my cousin, she moved up here last summer with her baby and boyfriend. They are living with my aunt and uncle. Alexandria is now 13 months old, and quite the ham. She is pretty healthy-just diagnosed with asthma though. But so was my Emma.
Joanne (my cousin) quit doing the pot when I wrote her that letter. So, thanks to all the encouragment I got here, I got her to stop. I think her boyfriend still does it, but not at home, because my aunt is always there. I've had a couple heart to hearts with my cousin on this subject, and her little sister has never seen any signs of her doing it either. She's a good mom other than a few things I disagree with. But I'm not perfect either. Actually I started working at Emma's preschool this year, and she watches Joey for me. It's only while he eats lunch and naps, but for the little time he and Alex get to play together, they have become best buds. It's the best part of his day. So, yes, it did turn out to be a good ending. Thanks for asking!
