1. Our landlord finally came to the house yesterday to deal with the roof issue. Supposedly he had contacted someone to come out on Saturday - that person was a no show. Also a no show on Sunday. Anyway, it was nice to meet him and he got our roof fixed and also a sagging gutter in about 30 minutes.

2. We all got our ears lowered yesterday at Cartoon Cuts. Jesse did much better this time, but he did cry the whole time. There just wasn’t the squirming around in the chair and he had a death grip on my hand. He looks so different with his hair shorter and all of his teeth now - so much like a little boy. And still super cute. I’ll try to take pictures tonight.

3. I made my mother’s delicious zucchini imperial casserole last night. I figured a gooey casserole was a good way to introduce a new vegetable to Jesse. He scarfed it down happily. And the baked chicken and rice pilaf, too. I think it was the first real meal he has eaten that didn’t include any jarred baby food. Progress! It makes me hopeful about being able to feed him well on our California trip, although we plan to take some of his jarred favorites for the plane on the way out just in case.

4. I think our house hunt is back on now that we know we are not moving. Also I think the promotion position for me in my office is finally being opened this or next week. I need to update my resume. I wonder if we should keep the house hunt on hold until that position is filled so that we know whether or not we have more salary to play with?

[UPDATE (12:30pm)]: The job opp has been opened and posted. I’m working on my resume. The potential pay raise will be very nice indeed and will definitely increase our buying power for a house. If I get the job.

5. I’m really glad we have Friday off.
