You threw out what?!?!?

I'm watching Tyler nap on the couch, but don't tell Sharron, from what I hear this is his first nap in at least a week! Rachel is playing with her princesses in the playroom, it sounds like a combination of Shrek and Snow White. Don't tell Disney, next thing you know they will want royalties on make believe.

The last week has been a crazy one. Rachel caught something viral and was miserable for a few days. a few trips to the Doctors. Some careful dosing of vitamin T and M (Tylenol & Motrin) seem to bring our happy Rachel back. Tyler has not been sleeping well but that can likely be explained by the excessive drool and sensitive gums, It would not shock me to see teeth any time soon.

Today's dump run saw the last remnants of our frozen Breast Milk stash go away. After the ice storm last year we were encouraged that one of the data-loggers I put in the freezer showed that it never got above -.5 degrees C (1/2 of a degree below freezing). Yes I am that much of a geek that I put a data-logger in the freezer. Unfortunately we found out later when we tried to use the milk it needed to stay closer to -10C to stay viable. When all was said and done the folks at Dartmouth told us to chuck it. Three trips to the dump later it's all gone.

It really sucks throwing that out knowing how long and hard Sharron worked to produce such a stock-pile. But there is no use crying over spoiled milk.

Anyone want a 13 cubic foot chest freezer? (not kidding)
