Home Sweet Home (at least for the next few weeks)

I returned home tonight from the Colorado recon trip despite airplane equipment problems. When the pilot announced they had a system fault, all I could think of was the Star Trek computer (pick an episode) saying "Unable to comply". Unfortunately, it meant we had to stay on the plane for two hours while they worked on the problem.

The trip was completely successful. We have an apartment and a crib. Now, we just need to make it through the next two weeks and the packing process.

In my absence, Gavin seems to have become a different baby. His babbling has increased and he is beginning to keep his tongue in his mouth -- so that opens a whole new world of sounds he can make. I have been told he his laughing and possibly squealing, too. I cannot wait for him to wake up tomorrow, say hello, and give him his souvenir from Boulder (a onesie that says "Hiker in training").
