A great day today. The sun was shining and Alex was smiling. He had his moments but overall he was in much better spirits. No side effects today.

It's so fun to watch him eat. He wanted to check out a burger place called Chadders (an In-N-Out type of place). He had the double burger and loved every bite of it. Then when we were in the grocery store, he tasted most of the samples they were giving out: multi-grain pancakes, spinach and artichoke dip on toasted baguettes, cheesecake & crab salad sushi rolls. As long as his counts are normal we don't need to be paranoid about eating food prepared outside so he is enjoying every chance to eat out.

He's been online chatting with his teammates who are in Guam. He is so happy for them but is sad that he is missing out on all of the fun and the sun (an opportunity to get an even darker tan)!

He's making progress on his BYU application and should have that done in the next few days.

He is playing the piano right now. It's amazing, after all those years of complaining about having to practice, it is the thing that he has turned to since being here. Parents, don't let your kids quit piano lessons.
