Man, was this a crazy week! Thursday night, my #@*^! cat jumped on the table and knocked a vase of flowers down, spilling water all over Brad's laptop. I took it to a repair shop and it's fried. They were able to save the hard drive, so we have the files, but the machine is kaput. Grrrr...... So, I made a quick run to Costco Friday night to buy another one because Brad left for Virginia Saturday morning.

He's doing his annual reserve training for the Marines - fortunately it's at Quantico - so he'll be able to househunt in the evenings. We decided Lawson and I wouldn't fly out (too much going on), so Brad will take photos, upload them to his laptop and send them to me at night. Sounded like a perfect plan - taking advantage of modern technology to save me the headache of another cross-country trip with a baby. When the computer got ruined, we HAD to replace it right away so that we can do this thing. Ugh. But, it's done. Brad's got a new fancy laptop, he's safely in Virginia, and he meets with the Realtor on Tuesday. How thrilling yet stressful all at the same time!

Lawson finally got his second top tooth last night. Poor kid has been teething for the last 6 weeks getting his top ones in. At least we'll all have a little break before the next ones start their descent.
