Wow, it’s been a long time since I posted anything. Life has been very busy for the last week.

Downs

• Calvin is teething again. This means that he sleeps fitfully through the night and sometimes is unbearably cranky during the afternoon. Ibuprofen helps but it never lasts through the entire night so sometimes I have to give him a booster in the middle of the night and hope that he falls back asleep again.

Ups

• Jaeger and I have now been married for 8 years. To celebrate, we got a babysitter and went out to eat at Leaf. Jaeger doesn’t particularly like it but he humored me. I got the Jamaican Jerk Tempeh. I’ve never liked tempeh. However, I decided before giving up on it completely, I should try it out after a professional worked with it. In was very good. They crumbled it up instead of trying to serve it like a slab. It was spicy and had kind of a meaty texture.
• My kitchen computer is working again! Dell sent a tech out on Thursday to replace the motherboard and it magically started working again. However, I haven’t had a chance to resync my iPod since (though I was able to plug it in without crashing the whole system).
• Jaeger’s family came to visit. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work also. I picked Bethany up at the airport and we went out to eat lunch at Noodles. Afterwards, we picked Calvin up and played in the park while waiting for the rest of the family to show up. Sabbath was good but Calvin unfortunately had a lot of stranger anxiety so for him to be happy I had to be within arms reach. Sunday the Logan women and Calvin went on a hike to Lost Lake. Calvin did well except for the very last part. When we got back, we discovered the very large truck next to us couldn’t get out unless we moved so the occupants had been waiting 2 hrs for our return. Monday, daddy Logan left for the airport in the morning. I dropped Calvin off at daycare and spent the morning in Boulder and then picked Calvin up in the afternoon. The rest of the family returned for supper after dropping Bethany off at the airport. Today, mommy Logan and Willy headed out to drop Willy off at Auburn University in Alabama.
• I discovered Boulder has a decent chocolate shop. The last time I went looking for chocolate all I could find was the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory which was a severe disappointment. This is much better. I particularly liked the coconut chocolate.

Calvin Moment

• Yesterday I was talking to Calvin and mentioned something about my nose. He immediately looked at me and then pointed to his nose. Curious if this was coincidence, I asked him where his ears were and he pulled on both of his ears. He also knows what his mouth is but I think he’s a little fuzzy on exactly where his eyes are. I’m assuming this is something that daycare is teaching him but I suppose he might have also picked it up from Eyes, Nose, Fingers and Toes.

Simplification

• I’m sure I must have done something during this last week but nothing is coming to mind.
