Wayne and Rebecca Madsen

Perhaps we should talk about all the things we didn't do this week. I didn't go to work. Wayne didn't make it to the free culture conference he wanted to go to on Saturday. We didn't make it to the beach. Paela didn't nap at Church again -- I think she is done with Church naps finally. It's asking a lot for a toddler to sit still long enough to sleep. And toddle she does.

We did get a lot of progress on Wayne's ATC project. We did pull out jackets this week for the bay area's "cool" season. We did have a lot of fun family time. We did finish some errands. We did make some progress updating our website's look (no, it's not done yet, but is more functional at least).

With the help of friends, and having some time off myself this week, we have made quite good progress on Wayne's project. We'll both be busy little beavers the next couple of weeks to get the last pieces in place, but we are hopeful the project will come off well. Paela is kind to play nicely quite often so we can even both work at once.

She is working in her own way, of course. Pushing her little car this way and that, learning to back up to get unstuck some of the time. Taking her shirt off sometimes in the night (hopefully closer to morning, but who knows?). Practicing throwing a ball to us. Petting the kitty, oh, so nicely. Petting the kitty not so nicely. And most of all walking. She walks from the window in one room, to the window in a next and back again. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. She is just entralled with moving right now.

For my part, I need to get busy job hunting, but have enjoyed a week of a slightly different pace than normal, helping Wayne and hanging out with Paela. Change can be good. We just need to be patient and trust that things work out in the end. And I need to finish updating my resume some day soon. That too.
