Well, we made
it back safely from our big afternoon trip to Mardi Gras on Sunday!
Katie, Jackson and I went with our friends Sara, Eric and Kiara to
the Krew of Munchkins Parade yesterday in Galveston. The parade was
really nice and we caught lots of beads, but Jackson didn't seem to
like it much. He started coming down with something on Saturday, we
think. This morning when he woke up, he had a 102 fever, so we're
keeping a close eye on him.
On Thursday,
we went in for his 6 month check up. He weighed in at almost 18 pounds
and is in the 60% range for length, weight, headsize, etc. All signs
normal! Anyway, we asked the doctor about formula since we want to
start weaning him and begin formula. Katie and Jackson both seemed
to be getting away from breastfeeding, so it's the right time. After
talking with the doctor, we're going with the Carnation powdered iron
fortified formula. We figure one can will get us about a week.
Anyway, I went
to the doctor this week too -- the dentist for a cleaning. I've got
to go back in a week or so to have a loose filling worked on, but
all else is fine.
This coming week
is going to be a busy one for sure. Tuesday evening, I've got to head
up to Dallas for meetings on Wednesday with Lone Star Lube -- one
of the larger Jiffy Lube franchisees. I'm going to be getting information
on all their existing technology and work up a network proposal for
them. I'm also getting all the stuff I need to start on their website.
It should be nice.
Then it's a quick
trip back to Houston on Wednesday night, then we turn around and go
to Austin on Friday for the SXSW
Interactive Festival until next week. In between getting back
from Dallas and going to Austin, I've got to fit in meeting with my
priest, Monsignor Jamail and meeting with a local client on some other
business. Well, I'll fit it all in . . .
Don't forget
-- Lent begins this week! For the six weeks of Lent, our family guild
is meeting once a week to focus on spiritual sharing and faith. Should
be good. Tonight, one of the pirests (Father Bubba) is visiting with
us and saying a special mass for us.
On a side note,
my sister Myra finally got email at her work -- myral@wordofmouthcatering.com
-- send her a note.
Anyhow, that's
about it. Hope all is well with you folks out there -- let
me know what's going on in your world sometimes, too!
