Hi Nancy,

 NB>  RH>> So are we; big brother Logan has had a few touches of jealousy
 NB> but  RH>> it's to be expected by a 2 year old. He (Logan) was a bit
 NB> hesitant  RH>> about us taking care of him at first but was well
 NB> warmed up to us by  RH>> the time we left. Helped that his dad & big
 NB> sister were around too.

 NB> I had a double take there for a moment, and then remembered, right, he
 NB> has half-siblings...  :)   Logan will get used to his baby brother
 NB> soon enough... they'll probably be best buddies in a few years...  :)

And we got to see Damian on this trip---he's taller than Steve now. At
Christmas when we saw him, they were the same height but D has grown
several inches. Still skinny as a bean pole. Victoria lives with her dad
& Deborah so we spent more time with her. She has been a big help with
Logan (since he's familiar with her), allowing Deborah and Nick to take
care of Jaxon. At some point the younger boys will bond, our girls did,
but I suspect it'll take a few years. Right now Logan just doesn't fully
understand why he's not the center of attention any more.

 NB>  RH>> had an Olive Garden pizza for supper, much less than stellar. It
 NB>  RH>> wasn't done in the center; they comped it and gave us another to
 NB> take  RH>> home. We've decided we won't be getting pizza there again.
 NB>  NB>> Was the take-home one any better...?   ;)

 RH> Somewhat, but not enough to convince us that OG makes a pizza worthy
 RH> of us buying it. The crust was a bit underdone in the middle but we

 NB> Sounds like they've not got their pizza oven set right...

Probably set just a bit too low. What didnt help with he 2nd one was
that they heaped cold sausage in the middle, no attempt to spread it
out. There was no way the crust could bake in the middle with the heap
of cold meat; the outer part of the crust would have been quite overdone
by the time the inner part was sufficiently baked.

 RH> crisped it up in the oven. What would have helped the take home one
 RH> would have been a piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the box; it
 RH> stuck a bit more than normal (hot out of the oven, a bit doughy yet so
 RH> paper would have prevented sticking as bad). Live and learn.

 NB> You've learned not to get their pizza... ;)   Did you mention it to
 NB> them after, so they could learn, too...?  :)  Theoretically, anyway...
 NB>  ;)

No, we didn't go back to that OG. Probably would have ordered something
else had we gone back but at the hour we were there, we wanted something
relatively quick & inexpensive. Overall, we like Carrabba's better but
there aren't any near where Deborah lives.
