where oh where has the sleep gone?

So, a semi-rest full weekend... didn't have to go to work at least.  Last week was pretty nice at the end of the week, so much so that we cut out a little bit early one day so that we could take Sara outside on a walk before it go dark... which she thoroughly enjoyed.  Otherwise, not too much else of note during the week.  We finally ordered up some prints of pictures of Sara and those turned out pretty well.

Yesterday, there was a retirement party for one of the faculty in my department that had been here for 39 years.  It was at a nice place on the lake called the Gwinn Estate.  A beautiful old estate and house that I am guessing hasn't been actively lived in much since the 60's and is now rented out to non-profits to use for events like this.  The neatest part of the house was a room in the basement that opened out onto the yard and lake that was literally a big sandbox!  The party was fun too... even saw one of my former profs who drove in for the party because Sam (the retiree) inspired him as an undergrad...

Other than that, we are just hoping that Sara will sleep tonight... she has more and more restless during the night the last month and it is starting to wear and Danette and I bit, especially today after the party and then coming home and getting sucked into The Great Escape which Paul and Leah were watching while babysitting... ahh well, that's life.  In more interesting news, Sara is expanding her range of sounds that she can make... and today she started stringing da da da.... da da da.... da da da... together... so clearly she knows who her dad is, right?  :)

Tomorrow we are getting a quick visit from our friends Michelle, Tom, and their son Leo.... they are taking a trip east and stopping by on their way for the night, so that should be fun tomorrow.

Have a great week everyone.... it is almost Thanksgiving!
