Scary Smart
October 24, 2007
My FIL called yesterday afternoon.
Just to see how we were doing. This is the one we don’t see very often.
Jack is currently in I-must-inspect-every-phone-call-that-comes-through-here mode, so he wanted to talk on the phone. I passed him the phone and he proceeded to have a conversation with his Grand-dad for a few seconds.
I had not told him who it was before I gave him the phone.
When he handed it back to me, he pointed at the phone and said, "Da-da!" — which is what he calls FIL.
Considering Jack has only seen him twice so far this year, I thought that was pretty good.

What good are Air Miles if it’s still going to cost you an arm and a legto get somewhere, I ask you. How is it with 10,000+ air miles, we still cannot afford to go South. BOO!
Awww, how sweet! I’ve come to the conclusion that air miles really suck because you can’t ever use them how you want to.

I totally understand. I am trying my best to save my miles to bring my step-grandmother back to see Kbug in the next few months.

Air Miles are like every other reward program on the planet: a complete rip off. You have to spend a massive amount just to earn enough for something worthwhile, then they make you jump through hoops - and pay ridiculous fees - to redeem anything.
I’m not a fan. Just keep the prices low up-front and don’t rip me off.
Hope things have been well with you. I hope your blog-silence is only due to the responsibilities of caring for your delightfully growing family. Hope you’ll chime back in when you can…
