As soon as he was big enough to take on the job, our morning bird, hopped-to morning coffee detail. Crack of dawn, the smell of coffee drifts through the house and we know our youngest boy is up and at 'em. This kid. He even makes a mean bulletproof -- blender and all. Then brings it to me every morning, first thing. Sometimes before I'm ready to get up, bless him.
