Is it Friday, yet?

It feels like it should be the middle of next week already. Just one of those weeks, I suppose. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but I have been getting ready for an interview at the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota. An interview that if I were on the plane to get me there, I would assuredly not be writing this post. Well, as luck would have it my flight out of Missoula was cancelled this morning...weather? NO, there was a mechanical issue and an emergency light of some sort that they have had since last night to fix, but sadly did not. Incidentally, when one flight gets cancelled, there are not many options out of Missoula and everything, I mean, everything was booked. So, my interview is moved to next week. I had a little meltdown about it earlier, but one hot shower later and all is right with the world again. Well, I will still spend the next week obsessively checking the weather and stressing out about my chalk talk. If anyone has some kick ass ideas for an RO1 on chlamydia pathogenesis, the comments section is below :). Ha ha.

Needless to say that this week, has been full of highs......











and lows....

One exciting bit of news is that we are currently winning the war on nighttime sleeping. Dalen and I decided to take the path of least resistance. Westin LOVES to sleep in his swing. So, we moved it into his room at night....He actually slept for 4 WHOLE HOURS and then after getting a full belly and a diaper change, slept for an additional 3 hours..I got a whole 7 hours of sleep. Do you know how magical that is??? Do you? West is also embracing naps. He is a much happier baby for it. We don't want to jinx it, but we might have turned a corner with the whole sleep-thing.

So, Dalen is already teaching West about the art of fly tying. They were tying ant, caddis and the stonefly skwala (aka the air Fred skwala) patterns.

West seems interested, but I think that he would rather be chewing on his own fist...at least for now.
