Week 10 Update

It's been a crazy week. At least it seems that way. I sat down to start this update and couldn't think of one thing that happened, its all such a blur. Such is life with a newborn, fussy wussy. Let me take that back, he hasn't been that fussy this week. He has been pretty congenial as a matter of fact. So, lets recount the week since my last update.

Mandy and Kate came from Massachusetts to visit Sarah. Mandy was Sarah's childhood pen pal but they haven't seen each other in 17 years. They brought gifts from the Pilgrim State which happened to include a Red Sox outfit for Caden. Now, being a Yankee fan, I had to take a moment to accept their generous gift even though my instinct was to light it on fire. j/k

Segue. Caden is going to be a Yankee for Halloween. Yes, I know they lost in the playoffs. No, I'm not a fair-weather fan. He has the jersey, the hat, and some cute white Converse Chuck Miller All Stars that my Aunt Tracy gave us to top off the outfit.

By now you know the umbilical cord is gone, but the implications are tremendous. First off, he got to take his first real bath in 10 weeks. He is finally clean, which is a relief for me because he was really stinking up this house. haha

I got accepted into the Masters of Educational Technology program at Boise State. They are a leading Edtech school and offer an online program so I don't have to move to Boise or pay out of state fees. I'm very excited and will start in January.

We went over to Gary and Annette's to visit Sarah's Uncle Charlie (forgot to bring the camera so waiting on Annette for pics). Caden got to meet his great uncle and soon to be great Aunt Janice.

I found out a recent article I wrote for Techlearning will be published in the spring. They are a big educational technology magazine (e-Zine).

I presented at my school's annual parents symposium in front of a group of 35 parents. It went very well. Caden and Sarah came and watched and we received a lot of positive feedback. For me it was more of a preparation for the Virtual School Symposium that I'm presenting at in early November which could have up to a couple hundred people attending my session.

Caden is talking a lot. Most of his words are incomprehensible, much like his daddy's.

All and all, its been a great week. Click here to see the most recent pics.

For posterity and dating this moment, go Rockies, I hope you kill the Red Sox in the world series. I hope Lindsay Lohan is fully recovered from her addiction as she leaves her 2 month stay at a Utah drug rehab, the world is definitely a better place with her back in it ;)
Another school shooting happened, this time in Cleveland.
The Raiders are in first place and have already matched the amount of wins they had all last year in 4 weeks of playing. Go one-eyes!
