I am happy to report as the new mom, that Larry is quickly finding a special 
place in our hearts. He is a sweet boy who has kept us laughing over the 
course of this past week. The other day, he in big brother took part in a 
game of Chase. This of course through our house. It is funny to watch them 
both playing together. Cash has an inch of height on him I would say and the 
at least 15 pounds. Today when we went out for brunch, both boys were 
extremely well-behaved. I think Larry was taking a lesson from his brother 
the veteran.
