In the kitchen, Emily Parker's ears were still hot, holding a spatula, though she was a bit distracted.

She thoughtfully skimmed the foam from the pot, unaware that it was all because of Little Jules.
The little guy had been remembering "to help mom and dad get along" these days, occasionally using her account,

In the living room, Aaron and Celeste were lying on the carpet doing a puzzle.
Celeste, after trying for a while, threw the puzzle piece down, pouting, "Puzzles are so troublesome, I don't want to do it anymore! Daddy, help me!"
