The Silence is Deafening

Admist a rainy Friday morning, the Kousser clan was dropped off at Sydney International to return from the California republic from whence they came... breathe.

Peggy and I, extremely gracious to have had been graced their company for such a long period of time, have a feeling that they will be back. From a visit that has seen more breasts flashed than at a Bill Clinton inauguration ceremony, this brief reprise has given us the ability to tally up the Kousser visit by the numbers...


28 : total number of days stayed

359 : number of diapers changed

132 : number of loads of dishes done

2 : number of delayed itineraries

1 : number of birthdays passed

8 : percentage of lifespan Will has lived in Australia

41 : gallons of breast milk consumed

220 : maximum decibel level achieved by aforementioned baby

14 : average percentage completion of Kate's evening meals

100 : percentage of sickly people / babies last week

4.2 : average daily Tim Tam consumption by Kate

.5 : total Tim Tam consumption by Thad

1229 : utterances of the word 'cute' by Peggy

Take note of the numbers, as we're hoping to add to them when they return. I'll be sure to inform the neighbors about the party ahead of time.
