I got a call today at work (as I did last Friday) that Jude had to go into the doctor yet again. This time, it was more serious than an orange juice overdose. Little Jude was tearing down the stairs and through the living room and tripped and hit his head smack dab in the …

Orange Juice Overdose
On Friday I heard from Andy that Jude was pointing at his kidneys and screaming. I left work on the next bus out of town and we all went to the doctor’s office. It turns out Jude and Levi were having issues, likely relating to too much orange juice. After I went back to work, …
