(Catalina Highway is the road up to Mount Lemmon/Summerhaven)P.S. Currently listening to conversation after conversation similar to this one:
"Hi, hun" . . . "Is it raining there?" . . . "Oh, no, it is?! Well, do you really need to go out?" . . . "Yeah, okay. Well, be very careful. It is RAINING."
Oh Arizona.

Week 16
How your baby's growing? Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
How your life's changing? Soon you'll experience one of the most wonderful moments of pregnancy — feeling your baby move. While some women notice "quickening" as early as 16 weeks, many don't feel their baby move until about 18 weeks or more. (And if this is your first baby, don't be too impatient — you may not be aware of your baby's movements until 20 weeks or so.) The earliest movements may feel like little flutters, gas bubbles, or even like popcorn popping. Over the following weeks they'll grow stronger and you'll be able to feel them much more frequently.

Kittens, Kitttens, Everywhere!
In October, I opened up the front door to find three tiny kittens on the doorstep - seriously, sitting right on the front porch. We're not sure, but we did hear a cat scream the night before, so we are pretty sure their mama was killed by a coyote who came up from the wash. "We" (aka Patrick) were only able to catch two of them at first. A few days later, he was finally able to catch the third one after setting up a variety of traps. I named them Bubba (the one with the white), Willlingham (changed to Wilbur when our friend adopted him), and Newman (the third one). Bubba, because that is the one Adam chose to be his temporary namesake, was the most playful and the biggest eater. Willingham was named such because he is a pretty boy. Newman was named such because he was the "New Man" of the bunch (and he was kinda a dud, like the Seinfeld character).
The sound is Patrick sneezing. The kitten that doesn't care is Bubba . . .
