Week in Review: August 12-18

Monday:  Matthew has had another horrible night.  I have decided to take him totally of solid foods this week.  I think that I may have introduced too many foods too quickly.  So, once we get things under control, I am going to re-introduce the foods again very slowly.  I'm hoping that this is the cause of his nighttime troubles.

Tuesday:  Steve and I are in the middle of rethinking our plans out here.  We've discovered that our Shady Brook house is grossly over-priced compared to other homes for sale in the area.  The other homes are just as big, but they have landscaping and they are 10-20,000 below our asking price.  Whew!  So, now we have to decide what our plan of action is going to be.  Rent or Sell Shady Brook?  Buy or Rent here?  There's so much we have to decide.

Wednesday:
                      Nothing special about these days.
Thursday:

Friday:  we headed up to the cabin for the weekend.  Grandpa is turning 70 tomorrow and we wanted to be there to celebrate with him.  Normally the drive takes about 3 hours, but with the traffic, it took us 4.5!  We were glad when we finally got there.

On the drive, we pass through a large wind farm.  There are at least 100 large windmills sitting along the ridge-top.  We pointed them out to Anna and she said they looked like the fan in her room.  After a couple of seconds, she says all excited, "so that's what makes the wind!".  I like how her mind works.

Finally, Steve had some good news at work.  His boss told him that he should apply to be certified in Java readability.  Doesn't mean much to the layman, but it would be a nice feather in his cap at Google for being there such a short time.

Saturday:  We spent today at the cabin celebrating Dad's 70th birthday.  The most exciting news, however, is that I discovered that Matthew has gotten his first tooth!  It's his lower front tooth on the left.  I also think he is getting the other lower one because he continues to be extra cranky.
