> Bad, but not too bad news -- Baby Kevin is back in Children's Hospital.
> NOTHING MAJOR, but just enough of a fever that, since he had a bout of

> Laura's mom lives in town, one sister had been visiting since pre-birth,
> another sister has just arrived, and Scott's dad and his wife will be
> arriving shortly, so "Kevin duty" is well under control.
