Another week come and gone; hard to believe it's already August. Delaney had a good week and managed to gain a few ounces. She's up to 9 lbs, 7.5 oz and is in good spirits. We are supposed to call the GI folks tomorrow and discuss her progress. At this point we're not sure whether they are going to ask us to supplement her breast milk, but will follow their orders. She's a happy, healthy baby these days as far as we can tell but if she needs more calories we'll make it happen. She's also developing a strong interest in toys of all shapes and sizes and is getting surprisingly strong. It's a lot of fun watching her learning to play and explore.

Meredith had a fun week as well, despite a funky cold. She enjoyed the annual slip and slide party at the Japuntich's, and made a lot of good progress at her swimming lessons. This week the Hells Angels (yes Hells Angels) came through Gunnison on their way across the country and were everywhere you looked. Gunnison was prepared for the gathering, and several hundred law enforcement personnel from across the state & country came to keep the peace. We had a bunch of LE folks staying in our community including a group of ATF agents. Jennifer helped our thoughtful neighbor Stacia bake them some treats one evening, which were enjoyed by all. Meredith made friends quickly, and she is now a junior ATF agent. She even got to meet one of their explosive sniffing K-9 dogs who put on a demonstration in front of our house. It's been an interesting few days in Gunnison.
