Today was a better day.... and a worse day.... The bad was that I have come down with a horrible head cold and feel like I have a 2 second delay forcefield around my head. Also, a nonstop runny nose, the accompanying sore nostrils, watery eyes, a hacking cough, and raging headaches. Started last night, still going strong tonight.
BUT on the plus side: The weather finally broke late this morning: We woke to no wind but a little drizzle, but we got full fledged sunshine by early afternoon. The girls went out fishing this am, swam in the outdoor pool before lunch, and played on the beach and in the lake all afternoon. Isaac was out on the beach as well - he loved the water.
Isaac woke up this morning with his volume set to 11: joyful shrieking was our soundtrack of the day, combined with the occasional complete meltdown tantrum - a new skill he's learned this week: The complete "drop to the floor" with huge tears. We're so very excited. Alas, our mealtimes are now 10 minute shifts between Pamela and myself: minding Isaac as he makes his rounds through the lodge, while the other eats... And speaking of eating:
Things he would not put into his mouth today:
Melon, banana, bread, pancake, cheerio, yogurt, chicken, pasta.
Things he did put into his mouth today:
Acorn (nut, top, both), rocks (various sizes), pine needles (short and long), leaves, sticks, lint, sand (dry), sand (wet from lake bed), lake water.
With that it's time for my sick self to be off to bed.

General Thoughts from Jimmy B

I have indeed had an answered prayer - with that patch of light. I think I saw it on the crawl on CNN in the afternoon: MN surprised by sunlight; Democrats take credit for it; Governor asks Gonzales to investigate. What a week! The sniffles are going around. I am fending off one. Enjoy your vacation!
Do you think Isaac is the wave of the future - he's showing us what we're going to have to learn to eat in dire times. Or do you think he is just getting used to not having a craw? Some odd woo-woos claim you can learn to "eat" light. Hmmmm.
This just in from Grandma during a phone call today:
"Your cousin Julie used to do that every time Art and Alice took the children to the Athletic Club. She used to just shriek. She's the only one of the 6 Cayou kids who ever did that. No one could really understand why - but it could have been power, you know - everyone noticed."
Had never heard this story about Julie (Art's 2nd child).
