Well, Campers, its been a very unusual week since we last talked. To use an Air Force Acronym for activities and projects, it's been "Alovnv*". But, that's ok, it just takes a lot of energy out of you.
First in the order of importance. Mrs J has her PET scan Tuesday (AKA tomorrow). With the Lord's help, we'll be through this "Big Adventure" with a clean slate. Yes, I know, regular PET scan's are still in her future, to make sure the Cancer stays gone, but a clean slate will reduce a lot of familial blood pressures.
As to the Big Week, (No Sarge it isn't THE Big Week in WWII, I mean where would we find enough B-17s to reenact?) this Big Week started last Monday with the arrival of The Rev and MBD and their two children, MG and Leon. The Rev and MBD were headed to a retreat in the Colorado Mountains. I believe it was church related and his parents attended also. The retreat started Tuesday and ended Saturday. So, with travel, Monday through Sunday.
Suffice it to say, having a 3 year old and an 8 month old in the house is a challenge. It's even more so with a 69 year gap between the youngest and oldest persons in the house. Sleep? We don't need no steenkin' sleep. Parents flew in today, Sunday as I'm writing this, Responding to comments tomorrow may be delayed somewhat. I intend to sleep.
All that having been said, I was very impressed with the 3 year old. Emotions and Self-control aren't up to maturity, but her intellect is pretty far up there.
She's gonna go far!
The 8 month old spends the majority of the day sleeping, but he's got a pretty good sense of humor as well as a need to explore. Yes, Mrs J and I have a hand off protocol when one or the other of us needs to do something.
He gave himself a shiner last Tuesday when we were watching TV. He walked up the the coffee table in front of the sofa, stumbled and fell on the corner. Fortunately, the corner was well rounded, but, nevertheless, we were concerned.
It's healing up nicely though.
You may have seen the Uniform that is required on the property, but just in case, let's take a look.
Yep, coming out in a flying helmet. He's also a pretty good eater for 8 months old. Most of it goes in his mouth.

| Most of it! |
Most went into his mouth, some went on the floors where 5 patient dogs were acting as floor cleaners. The rest went on his skin, clothes and tray. Cleaning the kitchen after meals takes a bit longer than it did week before last. Oh Well!
But, Mrs J and I as well as the rest of the family are ready for a bit o sleeping catch up.
Peace out, y'all! I'm going to catch an afternoon nap.
*A lot of velocity no vector. AKA we were going hard and fast and getting nowhere.
