Well, I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. At this point, we're just waiting for the phone call.
To recap the weekend events, after returning home, we managed to spend a little more time with the Mutchler's by taking in the zoo. We took Terri's younger cousins since they were out visiting for the week. It rained in the morning, but by afternoon it had cooled off and made for a really nice relaxing day at the zoo. Although outside of the aquarium, Terri's youngest cousin Lexie saw the Scuba tank that they had set up. Turns out, you could try scuba diving for free. She wanted to go in the worst way, but had to have an accompanying adult. After checking for any loopholes, I reluctantly gave in and went with her. After changing into the wetsuit, we headed into the pool area, which was thankfully only 4 feet, as I'm not the world's greatest swimmer. In fact, I think I've seen rocks and logs do better in the water than I do. Anyway, all turned out well and it was even a little fun.
Saturday we had breakfast and hung out with Susie til it was time for the Mutchler's to head back across the state. A rousing game of scrabble was played whilst Alison and I watched the little ones. For future reference "Fores" - not a word "Re" - a word.
Saturday evening we headed over to Alicia and Jody's house for their party. It was an interesting party. They had a guy who was providing musical entertainment. Gage was fascinated by him for some reason. Not really the best entertainment I've ever heard, but ok.
Sunday Gage was feeling very clingy and since Terri was working from 7 in the morning til early afternoon, he was all mine to deal with. He managed to cling enough so that neither of us could really get ready for church. So we spent most of Sunday dozing until Terri got home. Then we all got cleaned up and headed down to my old boss' house for a small "Lycos" reunion. We hung out and had lunch at her house and then headed over to the Wild Things game. It was fun. The promotions staff tried to recruit Gage for one of the promotions, but he just wasn't feeling up to it. Although he would have beaten the other kids entered with no problem.
And, it was back to work today. And still waiting for a phone call that I don't want to answer.
