What a week!
We've been all over the map lately. In the last 7 days, we've flown in excess of 8000 miles and driven almost 700 miles in 2 different rental cars. I know that sounds terribly exciting. The problem is we've been doing this separately and, worse yet, for work purposes - ugh!
Hence the lack of an update here lately. Thanks to those loyal enough to come back every day.
I've was the one lucky enough to rent two very fine and well-used vehicles from the rental fleet. One with a rear view mirror that shook uncontrollably if I exceeded a certain speed (much lower than the speed limit, mind you) and another that smelled as though it were labeled as a "Non Smoking" car, but not until it had a good 22,000 miles on it.
Even though the last week has basically been a blur, the good news is we are still graced with plenty of God's goodness. Our Ellena is growing like a champion and is dangerously close to a new millstone in her life - rolling over. She hasn't quite done a non-assisted roll yet, but is very, very close. Laying on her back, she will bend in the middle and lift her legs up, then she'll clock to the left. But that's about it.
Up...and to the left. Up...and to the left. Sounds like the Zapruder Film, doesn't it?
She has figured out that by doing this she can see something to the left of her without moving her neck. I attribute the thinking aspect of this feat to the genes she acquired from her mother, while clearly the lazy portion comes from me (But, hey, at least I'm in there!)
Ellena's hair is also changing, again. This time it is not the color, it is the density. She loses a little bit in the bath every time we bathe her. She appears to have a little ring around her head from sleeping in the cribs at daycare and in her nursery. It remains thick and dark in the back though...at the bottom. Poor girl. I guess hat season may come early this fall!

This was also a banner week for General Motors, who turned the big 100 on Tuesday (a good day for birthday cake I may add). Congratulations to them, especially on a week when other large firms closed up their lemonade stands. The new Volt was unveiled at their big one-zero-zero birthday celebration. This is one particular vehicle I am eyeing, not only because it will be available conveniently when my current lease has expired, but also because my commute is 24 miles round trip and the Volt engineer's forecast a 40 mile range on a single charge. Can you imagine not buying gasoline for awhile? Or perhaps never again?
