Wow, we received 12.5 inches of snow!

Ice Sculptures 2009

2009-12-27T20:04:00.000-06:00

This years theme was "The Grinch"!! I definitely could not miss that.

Happy Halloween!

2009-11-01T19:25:00.002-06:00

We had a busy weekend. First we went to Micah's school on Friday to see him in his Halloween parade. Then later that day Micah and I met Terrance at his job for his company Halloween party.

Finally on Halloween we stopped by our city recreation center for some fun and more candy! Trick-or-treating was fun. Micah has waaay too much candy. He really liked dressing up like a robot. It was fun making his costume.

Though I am not quit ready for the cold weather yet, I am embracing fall. It was cold, but we had a great time.

Micah's 3rd Birthday

2009-07-25T10:36:00.000-05:00

It was a very difficult task trying to get pictures at this party while trying to keep an eye on 17 kids enjoying bounce houses! Wish I could have gotten more pictures.

Micah's actual birthday was on July 27, but his party was July 25.

July 4th

2009-07-03T23:05:00.000-05:00

We hung out at Lone Star Park on the 3rd since I work on the 4th. The races were great and the fireworks show was spectacular!

Happy Easter

Day out with Thomas

2009-03-28T15:14:00.001-05:00

It was really cold, but we had so much fun.

Happy Birthday Terrance

2009-03-13T16:52:00.003-05:00

Terrance turns a big 4 0 today! I wish you many more happy healthy years babe.

Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Green Thumb

2009-02-28T18:28:00.002-06:00

We all had a blast. This show was very entertaining, and we highly recommend it.

Joy ride to the park

2009-01-24T00:09:00.001-06:00

Wow, for what seems like the first time in a long time I had the whole weekend off from work. We decided to go hangout at the park like we used to do all together on Saturdays.

Happy New Year

2008-12-31T21:25:00.001-06:00

We enjoyed a nice quiet evening together to bring in the New Year. Micah tried to stay up, but did not make it past 10PM.

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas

Ice Sculptures at the Gaylord Texan Hotel and Resort 2008

2008-12-22T19:10:00.001-06:00

I really look forward to these ice sculptures every year, because they are so magnificent. The ice exhibit is kept at 9 degrees, and warm parkas are provided for those not dressed appropriately.

The entire hotel is beautifully decorated throughout. I begin to really get into and enjoy the Christmas spirit during this tradition. I love seeing Micah's little face light up seeing Santa, the trains, and ice.

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from the Carsons

Indoor rock climbing

2008-11-15T19:39:00.002-06:00

We had so much fun indoor rock climbing in Arlington with Pernel and Angela today. Climbing was a good workout, and a fun way to hangout with good friends. Micah loved it and was very brave. He climbed pretty high for his first time.

Updates are coming!

2008-11-03T12:32:00.001-06:00

I apologize for the slow updates. Things have been a little hectic for me adjusting to my work schedule.

Check back soon for new updates.

Happy Halloween!

2008-10-31T21:04:00.001-05:00

Plano Balloon Festival

2008-09-19T22:26:00.003-05:00

We had a blast even though we had to leave early since I had to get up early the next morning to go to work.

Micah still remembers the balloons from St. Louis. In st. Louis the balloon festival was much more convenient since it was right in the city. We didn't even have to leave our apartment to see it. In Texas we had to commute through traffic to get to the festival, but it is worth it to see Micah's face light up.

Labor Day weekend

2008-09-01T16:19:00.002-05:00

This was the first time my family got together since we have been back home. Great bar-b-que Stanley, and thank you everyone for the surprise cake.

Thank you Terrance and Erica for my birthday Surprise

2008-08-22T13:11:00.004-05:00

I can't thank you two enough for making my 30th birthday so special! Me Terrance, Erica, and Micah all went to Las Vegas for my birthday weekend. This was the pick me up I needed because I was beginning to feel a little down about getting older so fast. Terrance and Erica kept me so busy the whole weekend I did not take as many pics due to exhaustion.

Erica, Micah and I went to see "Gregory Popovich's Comedy Pet Theater" on Friday. That was a very fun show with lots of cute dogs and cats. Then later that evening Terrance and I went to see "Zumanity" by Cirque Du Soleil(a must see for couples, but not for the prudish at heart). I love Cirque Du Soleil shows. I always walk away in amazement. To top the night off Erica and I went out to the Jungle Room until about 3:30 AM.

Saturday was just as exciting. Erica and I sarted the day off with spa treatments until 11:30. Terrance and Micah hung out at the pool. Then Erica and I had lunch while the guys slept. After lunch we did some souvenir shopping. For dinner we went to "The Tournament of Kings" show. We all enjoyed it. Micah was so into the show he forgot to eat. Then Terrance and I went to see another Cirque Du Soleil show "O". Simply amazing is all I can say!

Sunday we wrapped things up with a trip to the Hoover Dam. I still can't wrap my mind around how they built that dam. It is HUGE!

Happy Birthday Micah

2008-07-27T21:45:00.003-05:00

Micah is 2 years old today!

Fort Worth Stockyards and train ride

2008-07-03T17:16:00.003-05:00

We hungout in the Ft. Worth stockyards for some family fun and also to allow Micah to ride the 'big' train.

Hangingout:

Here is the train we rode:

Train ride and Fort Worth Zoo

2008-06-28T18:25:00.005-05:00

Since Micah loves trains we took him to the Fort Worth Zoo and surprised him with a train ride through Forest Park.

We finished the day at the zoo!

Happy anniversary

2008-06-28T18:24:00.004-05:00

It has been 5 years with many more to come God willing! Things worked out perfectly for us to get away. Micah's daycare had a Parent's Night Out scheduled the day before our anniversary. This allowed us to go out Friday night and hangout with baby boy on Saturday at the zoo.

By the way this was the BEST carrot cake I have ever eaten.

There's a new lodge in town

2008-06-22T21:16:00.004-05:00

The Great Wolf Lodge is really nice. They have a huge indoor water park! We ate ice cream and enjoyed hanging out again back home.

Micah's 1st fishing trip

2008-06-14T21:08:00.002-05:00

It is so nice to be back home! This is our first fishing trip with Micah and since we have been home. I did not want to leave it was so peaceful at the lake. Micah seemed to love fishing, which is good news since we love to camp and fish.

One tough little cookie

2008-06-06T22:32:00.005-05:00

Sorry about the lack of updates to the site. The transition back home has not been as smooth as I thought it would be.

After a short stay in the hospital related to breathing difficulty Micah has been diagnosed with asthma. He is doing better now, but he still requires multiple breathing treatments (3) and medications daily. We ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

These are photos from the last day in the hospital. Micah loved pushing his own IV pole through the halls talking to anyone that would stop to chat and playing in the play room until out of breath. I was surprised at how well he tolerated having the IV in his little arm. It was war though when it came to keeping his oxygen on--I can't say that I blame him.

He is back at home now and being carefully monitored for his asthma. His doctor is trying to get the right combo of meds to keep his asthma in check.

Happy Mother's Day

2008-05-11T15:49:00.001-05:00

This warmed my heart, so I thought I would share!

Diaper Dash

2008-04-05T14:41:00.003-05:00

We enjoyed watching Micah run his 1st organized race today during the St. Louis marathon festivities in the Diaper Dash. He really enjoyed himself; we all enjoyed ourselves. Our cousins Kevin, Leslie and Kyle came out to cheer Micah on, too.

Before the race we watched Heat 1.

Micah was in Heat 2. Here is that race.

Then after the race.

Happy Easter

2008-03-23T22:38:00.003-05:00

We hope you all enjoyed a very Happy Easter. It was cold and snowed off and on all day here in St. Louis.

Evening walk in the park

2008-03-21T23:08:00.002-05:00

We decided to go hangout in the park and reminisce about when we first moved to St. Louis. We can't wait to get back to Texas. I only have 7 more weeks until I graduate and we are back home!

This squirrel was always in this spot in the park when we would hangout at this fountain. Today we fed him some Doritos.

Here are some other scenes and wildlife we saw in the park.

Happy St. Patty's Day

2008-03-17T12:07:00.006-05:00

Check back this week, because I will be doing a lot of site updating--It's SPRING BREAK. Look through the previous posts, because I have added some new ones today.

Sorry I fell behind on the site I have been so busy with school.

Happy Birthday Terrance

2008-03-13T21:41:00.001-05:00

We picked Micah up from School and headed to the Melting Pot on the Loop in St. Louis. We had a great time, and I left feeling gorged. Happy Birthday Babe!

Move over Elmo

2008-03-09T16:16:00.003-05:00

I found Micah sleeping to my surprise curled up with his Baby Tad. This was too cute for me to pass up on the photo-op!

More artwork from our little artist

2008-03-03T22:35:00.000-06:00

I love the textures he added to this piece of work!

Day at the track

2008-03-01T16:15:00.004-06:00

Micah loves to run just like his daddy. I tagged along because I needed the study break.

Happy Valentine's Day

2008-02-14T14:14:00.002-06:00

I thought I would share my first piece of artwork from Micah!

Hanging out

2008-02-09T19:47:00.001-06:00

Micah would not stop running in his new shoes so we decided to hangout in the clubhouse before heading up to our apartment.

Enjoying the snow

2008-02-02T11:34:00.001-06:00

Micah and I have been sick so the day off Friday was much needed by us. It snowed about 8 inches where we live starting Thursday afternoon.

Since we were feeling better today we let Micah venture out into the snow. He loved it! It was a beautiful day out about 40 degrees.

Micah goes to see Sesame Street with his cousins' Leslie and Kayla

2008-01-27T19:50:00.002-06:00

Leslie and Kayla took Micah to the Sesame Street show, and Micah also turned 1.5 (18mo.) today. They said he danced and sang as much as the characters in the show. This is a picture they took of Micah. When I picked him up I sung the Elmo's World song to him and he grinned and tried to sing with me.

This is the time
This is the place
Elmo's World
La la la la
La la la la
Elmo's World

Thanks again Leslie and Kayla!

I'm ready to wrap things up

2008-01-26T20:52:00.000-06:00

Well, school started back this past Tuesday, and it was rough. The lectures seemed like they were endless! Good news though, the School of Nursing did decide to change our grading scale. Too bad it only counts for one of my semesters. We were told the new grading scale is NOT retroactive. I think they like to play with us accelerated students. Now a -B is 83-84. Before a -B was 85-86; an -A was not even considered until you made a 93. Now it is a more reasonable 91.

Hopefully next week I will be back in the saddle and tolerating lecture better. It may be harder because I got used to having clinical time. Patient interaction, yeahhhh! In March I will start my comprehensive and May I will be a GN (graduate nurse). We have about 3.25 more months left here in old St. Louis.

Micah is at a new daycare and loving it. When we drive up he is beaming, he starts waving, and he can't wait for me to get him inside. He is happy when I leave and happy when I pick him up. Thanks for all of your prayers and suggestions on the matter.

Getting back out after snowday

2008-01-26T15:54:00.002-06:00

We decided to go to the St. Louis Science Center since we had been stuck in the apartment for a couple days due to snow closures at Micah's daycare and my school. Well, we got there and for some reason they were closing early. Since the weather was beautiful outside and we weren't ready to go back home we decided to go to the baby park (not sure of the parks real name, that is what we call it). Micah had so much energy he needed to get out.

Of course it is a boat!

2008-01-25T22:23:00.000-06:00

I love receiving art from Micah now! He learned about boats today at school.

Micah takes over

2007-12-27T23:30:00.003-06:00

Micah is 17 months old today. He thought it would be fun to kick his doggy brothers out of their new bed. Apollo has met his match.

Our house was quiet once upon a time, and then there was a little boy named MICAH! He talks and talks and yells and talks. I wouldn't change a thing. This boy is growing up too fast.

Christmas 2007 in Killeen

2007-12-25T22:46:00.000-06:00

Christmas 2007 in Waco

2007-12-25T22:35:00.000-06:00

Our day was busy. We made two stops. The first stop was in Waco and the second in Killeen to visit our families.

New tradition

2007-12-22T14:41:00.000-06:00

Micah and I went to see the ice sculptures at the Gaylord Texan. Since I was holding him I could not take pics of the beautiful sculptures we saw. Maybe next year, but Micah loved the hotel decorations we saw along the way to the sculptures.

Doggy spa day

2007-12-19T21:27:00.001-06:00

It has been a while since we have been able to spoil the doggy boys. For one they have not been with us since September. Since Terrance was traveling so much they went to stay with my parents in Texas (thanks Mom and Dad). It was impossible for me to take care of them and Micah alone in St. Louis living on the 6th floor with no backyard.

Today they were pampered like they used to be.

Trimming the Christmas tree

2007-12-18T21:17:00.000-06:00

We are behind this year since we just made it back to Texas December 14. Usually all of the decorating would have been done way before now, but better late than never. Oh, it is good to be home again.

For you Cousin Dee

2007-12-16T21:14:00.000-06:00

Micah wore his Redskins outfit just for you in Cowboy country Cousin Dee;-)

Reunited

2007-12-15T21:33:00.000-06:00

Today we picked up Doggy boys (Prince & Apollo). Boy do they need a haircut. They were noce and plump, and well taken care of. Thanks again Mom and Dad!

Back in Texas

2007-12-15T21:32:00.001-06:00

We enjoyed long 5 week break, but Micah and I had to return early to find a new daycare. We had fun at home while it lasted

I am 2/3's of the way through the nursing program!!

2007-12-13T13:33:00.000-06:00

My last exam was in Pharmacology this morning at 8 AM. I have the option to take the final for Life Span III, but I think I will pass. My brain has already checked out and is thinking about home. I don't want to think about school again until January 22!

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting brighter and brighter. May 9th will be my last day of class.

Micah is 16 months

2007-11-27T19:49:00.000-06:00

It has become harder and harder to keep 'little man' still for photos. So now I just take pictures as he plays.

Magic House

2007-11-24T19:50:00.001-06:00

One of the places we have the most fun here in St. Louis.

Happy Halloween

2007-10-31T15:39:00.000-05:00

Thanks to my packed school schedule we did not get to take Micah trick-or-treating, but we did take him to the get together our apartment had in the clubhouse.

Micah and Elmo at bedtime

2007-10-28T16:27:00.000-05:00

Micah is 15 months

2007-10-27T16:21:00.000-05:00

Micah seems to be growing up so fast. We have about 6 more months left in St. Louis, then we will be back home in Texas.

Micah speaks his own language (sounds like Japanese sometimes), and he fusses at people all the time. He will repeat the 1st 6 letters of the alphabet, and sometimes he will say the next letter if he is started at 'A'.

His 5th tooth is finally coming in. This kid climbs on and is into everything. He is still a daddy's boy!

Right now we are battling problems with fluid on his ears, allergies, and possibly asthma related to allergies. We will stay in STL for Thanksgiving, but we will be home for about 5 weeks for Christmas! I will do my best to keep you posted on time. If I have time I might post some video.

Sorry the update is late. Things have been crazy with school and Terrance being gone. Enjoy!

Hot air balloons in St. Louis

2007-09-15T18:46:00.000-05:00

Micah is 13 months

2007-08-27T18:33:00.000-05:00

Going back to St. Louis

2007-08-24T19:43:00.000-05:00

I was not READY for my break to be over yet. Micah sang and chanted on the flight back this time, but he was still good considering the circumstances.

Micah goes swimming

2007-08-15T15:00:00.000-05:00

We definitely have a water baby!

Micah's 2nd set of wheels

2007-08-12T22:08:00.000-05:00

He has graduated to a tricycle now! Where does the time go?

Raymond and Rose visit

2007-08-11T15:03:00.000-05:00

I am so glad I had the opportunity to see you Raymond and Rose!

Back home in Texas

2007-08-10T21:58:00.000-05:00

It was so nice to be back home.

Micah's 1st plane ride

2007-08-10T18:31:00.000-05:00

I was nervous about flying with Micah by myself, but he did so good. When we got on the lane he checked everything out he could around us, said hi to people, and looked out of the window. The engines started and he got comfy. Before you know it we were in the air. I gave him pieces of Tootsie roll to chew on to keep his ear from popping (what do ya know, it worked). We were in the air for about 5 minutes and Micah was snoring 5 minutes later. He woke up just a few minutes before the announcement came that we were about to land in Dallas. This kid ceases to amaze me!

I was unable to get actual photos at the airport, because it was too hard for me to watch our bag and Micah.

Micah goofing off

2007-08-09T17:56:00.000-05:00

It is my 1st day of my summer break. I survived, YEAHHHHHH!!!! I have been so busy I couldn't update the sight. When I finally had a free moment to try to put up some updates I was too tired. So here are some updates--better late than never.

While spending some quality time with Micah started being really silly. I had to try to capture some of it on film. He likes to be silly.

Micah's 1st day at daycare

2007-08-06T17:55:00.000-05:00

Well after a whole year it came to a point that we had to put Micah in daycare. As much as I dread the thought. Here we go with all the daycare illnesses from the cooties he is going to pick up there. For a whole year he has never been sick!

Luckily due to my school schedule he will only be there on a drop in basis. His cousins are watching him on Mondays also. What a big help that is. Thanks again guys!

Happy Birthday Micah!!!

2007-07-27T18:40:00.000-05:00

Micah enjoyed himself on his birthday. His favorite toy seemed to be the blue Tonka truck. As you can see we did not have a big party or anything special, due to my rigorous school schedule.

We still can't believe our little guy is 1 already!

Micah's 1st haircut

2007-07-25T18:43:00.000-05:00

Cookout

2007-07-14T19:18:00.000-05:00

Our apartment in St. Louis has a cafe/restaurant downstairs called Mense. They sponsored a cookout, and we decided to go for the good food and to possibly meet some neighbors. It was nice to peek my head outside of the books. We met a few people and had a really good time. Micah really enjoyed playing with the lawn chess pieces.

We all go to the Zoo

2007-07-07T21:57:00.000-05:00

I had a chance to peek my head out of the books for a minute, because we were given a 3 day weekend for Independence Day. We decided to take advantage of this break and go to the Zoo.

We only saw about 1/3 of the whole thing, because we didn't go prepared with food and water. Since it is free, and close to our place we will go back.

Happy Anniversary

2007-06-28T13:08:00.000-05:00

We didn't do anything. We did remember though. 4 years has gone by fast. Hopefully there will be many more to come.

Micah is 11 months

2007-06-27T13:05:00.000-05:00

Micah is growing so fast. He can now say, "Hey, bye-bye, hi, daddy, mom, and no." We have a little mountain climber already. He tries to climb everything--so we have to watch him very very carefully. I don't think we have come across any foods yet that Micah does not like. He can put away some food. Micah walks well, but he likes to use us as his safety net. When we try to let him go he drops to the ground and crawls over to us so he can be picked up.

Dinosaurs in the park

2007-06-21T15:01:00.000-05:00

I had a little bit of free time, so we went over to the Science Center to see the dinosaurs. They look really neat, and they are outside next door to the park.

Terrance and Micah go to the St. Louis Zoo

2007-06-16T22:40:00.000-05:00

The boys were out enjoying themselves while I had to of course STUDY.

Micah goes bike riding with his daddy

2007-06-11T22:38:00.000-05:00

Terrance bought Micah a bike seat to fit on his bike. Micah wanted to help put it together. Micah loves to fix things (or should I say beat things). He is very curious when it comes to electronics. Seems to be taking after his daddy. He later found the box to be more entertaining, which allowed Terrance to finish the project.

Micah in the park

2007-06-08T15:22:00.000-05:00

Micah is out with his daddy in one of their favorite hang outs--the Baby Park.

- Get Your Own

Micah is 10 months

2007-05-27T20:19:00.000-05:00

Micah now has his bottom two teeth. He eats crackers and cookies--his favorites are banana cookies, and Cheese Nips. He also drinks from straws now. He is very proud of himself when he uses his 'big boy' cups.

As far as walking goes, he seems to want to take that first step, but he is very hesitant. I hope he does not decide to take the first step while I am at school.

One of his favorite games is chasing his doggy brothers while he is in his walker. Micah and Terrance have been hanging out at home while I in class. Micah has not missed a beat here in St. Louis.

Micah has teeth now

2007-05-17T01:13:00.000-05:00

Micah finally has a tooth poking through his gums. I was checking his gums today and felt the crown of his first tooth.

By time we moved to Missouri he had both of his front teeth on the bottom coming in. I tried to get a photo, but he wouldn't smile big enough for me.

Getting settled in

2007-05-14T13:09:00.000-05:00

Now that we are moved in we have already found a place that we like to hang out in. Our favorite place for walks and enjoying outdoors is Forest Park. The park is just a five minute walk from our apartment. So far things are going well. We have to get used to living on the 6th floor. A walk from the car with groceries is a major task now. Doggy boys seem to be adjusting pretty well to city life themselves.

I have all of my books, and have already started studying. Looking at the schedule this is going to be a tough summer, but I am ready--bring it!

Happy Mother's Day

2007-05-13T01:10:00.000-05:00

Well my first official Mother's Day was spent trying to get settled in and resting. I slept half of the day, because I was so tired from our travels and moving.

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there!

Moving

2007-05-11T18:40:00.000-05:00

It was a long ride (about 12 hours) and a hard move, but we made it! Terrance unloaded a 5'8' trailer up to the 6th floor by himself not to mention after driving all night long.

Micah finally said MAMA

2007-04-30T21:35:00.000-05:00

Not only did he say mama, but he showed me his first wave. I got so excited that I scared him a little. I couldn't believe what I was hearing and seeing, because I have been trying to get this boy to say mama for a while.

Micah is 9 months old

2007-04-27T14:30:00.000-05:00

Sorry it took so long to get this posted for the faithful viewers. At his 9 month Well Baby exam he weighed 20 lbs. 7 oz. and he is 28 in.

Micah is growing up so fast. It seems like he is learning how to do many things all at once. Just before turning 9 months on the 15th of April he started crawling, as if he has been crawling forever. So now his new thing is to crawl over to whatever he can hold on to and pull up. He has been scaring the mess out of us, because he is bold and will let go. Micah has good balance, but it is thrown off because he wants to do everything so fast. He now says Dada, Mama, hey, hi and no no no. When we laugh or make a noise he tries to mimic us. It is hilarious to watch him groove to a beat. Every now and then I can get him to wave.

Doggy boys go to the park

2007-04-22T22:50:00.000-05:00

Doggy boys have not gone to the dog park for a while now since Micah was born so we decided to treat them today. To our surprise they had made some upgrades to the park since our last visit. Prince seemed to love some of the upgrades. Micah liked seeing all of the different dogs. He especially seemed amused by the ones that ran around a lot.

Saturday at the lake

2007-04-21T23:26:00.000-05:00

Here we are at one of our family hangouts enjoying the great outdoors.

Night out for pizza

2007-04-18T22:10:00.000-05:00

On a whim we decided to go out to eat tonight. We had a taste for Mexican food, but ended up at this new pizza place. We had so much fun with the little guy here. Seeing Micah have fun at Incredible Pizza gives us so much more to look forward to as he gets older and can play the arcade games and ride on the rides. He had a blast, and so did we!

Virginia Tech

2007-04-16T22:37:00.000-05:00

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all individuals effected by today's horrible events at Virginia Tech. This is a terrible day for America.

We too are stunned as I prepare to embark on my next collegiate endeavor.

Inspirational Christian Poems - Moment by Moment with Him

Sometimes we so easily forget,
How unpredictable our lives may be,
We make plans for our tomorrows and our futures,
Not realizing they could change instantly,

Then one day, you wake up, and it happens,
Something occurs that's not at all like you've planned,
Your life has now taken a new direction,
And it may be difficult for you to understand.

God never promised that we'd never have struggles,
That there would always be sunshine and not rain,
But He said He'd never leave nor forsake us,
And with His presence we will forever be sustained.

When God takes us from the height of the mountain,
And then places us in the valley of despair,
It's here we can learn total dependence,
Upon the One who will always be there.

Oftentimes it's only through the midst of the trials,
We see God works in ways we'd never have dreamed,
He accomplishes so much beyond our understanding,
And now things may not be at all what they'd seemed.

We may not know why God allowed such a hardship,
We must learn to trust in the One who knows best,
For our future is seen by Him only,
And in Him we can confidently rest.

So when the unexpected may arise in our lifetime,
And the way God is leading seems dim,
May we face it not ONE DAY at a time,
But instead, MOMENT BY MOMENT with Him.

Micah crawled today

2007-04-15T23:32:00.000-05:00

I had a feeling that he could crawl, and he proved it today. I was playing on the floor with Micah and he just started crawling like he was a little pro. This boy just keeps on amazing us.

Now that he is crawling he wants to crawl to anything he can to pull up on it. He has us very nervous pulling up on things without good balance. It is like a game to him pulling up and then trying to reach out and take steps to other objects.
