What happened to the Bassetts?

In a nutshell:
The camera is down for the count.
The dryer situation: Dryer A died on us and makes a pathetic electrical buzz when we try to turn it on, no other response. Dryer B turns the drum but has no heat. Dryer C, which we were going to purchase, made no buzzing, turning, or heat at our house but works great at someone else's house. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Kailyn read 46 pages of "Reading with Dick and Jane" to me last night, without a single mistake, then another 15 pages from a different "Dick and Jane" book.
Jordan starts and continues conversations. She has started telling me about her days and the things she enjoyed. She has a new dress that a friend, Rachel, gave to her, which is absolutely adorable. Too bad the camera is down. She has worn it every day since she got it--4 days ago.
Caden pouted yesterday--his feelings were hurt when someone suggested he not chew on a rubber bouncy ball. It was cute, and the first time we remember seeing his feelings get hurt. We call him "echo" because he does a great job of echoing everything we say. His speech is improving tremendously. His prayers are especially cute. He is also getting really good at knowing his body parts, like chin, toes, fingers, as well as the usuals (ears, eyes, nose, etc).
More later.

Hey guys! I'm not sure what to tell you about the dryer situation. That really stinks not being able to dry your clothes. Maybe a dryer D option would be available from Craigslist. Of course, maybe dryers A, B and C are from Craigslist and there lies the problem. At any rate, good luck.

That's so cool reading about the cool things your kids are doing. I love their picture! You have such cute kiddos.

Hope Residency's going okay for you. Jeff just started his this week and it feels like the beginning of quite an adventure. Love you guys!

We actually think it is a problem with the power source cause both dryers b and c work at other peoples' home but not ours. Dryer c is a nice year old dryer that left our home and worked fine at another home. We may have to call an electrician. We checked fuses and wiring but can't see anything wrong. I actually wish it were a dryer issue cause I'm thinking that would be a lot cheaper to deal with than electrical problems.

Okay, here's my suggestion... Buy a new house :) There's one just down the street from us :) Just kidding, of course. Cute stories about the kids.
