I must update. Much has happened since we last met, so let me see if I can throw it all together in an entirely incoherent manner. For those who may have missed it, there is a brief post on October 18, 2006 that I just recently published (I had written the entry, but never saved it to the page).

Chase finally figured out how to crawl. It's done wonders for his confidence. He's found a new sense of freedom. The good part is that he doesn't get so frustrated from just sitting around unable to go anywhere on his own. The bad thing is his incredibly mischievous mobility. Still, it's an exciting development. I think Chase is on the cusp of walking. We've been letting him walk a bit lately and he's been standing and walking fairly well for short times and distances. I am predicting that he'll be walking before Christmas. Emilie is not so sure.

Chase was recently diagnosed with bronchiolitis; however, he got over it pretty quickly so we're doubting that that's what he really had. I'm thinking it was probably just a nasty cold or something. We're not sure how he got it, but he's all good now. For several days he was in a low mood and was obviously miserable. That was right at Thanksgiving, so it wasn't much fun. Chase likes to be around lots of people, especially other kids, so it was a sad holiday. Saddest of all, we didn't get to see the Barnets when they were in Reno for the holiday because of the illness.

Work has been a festival of fun, too. I went to Chicago on the 6th and 7th of November. It was a brief overnight trip. I didn't do very much while there; however, I did find one cache (with a travel bug) and I ate some Chicago deep dish pizza. On the 9th I went to our Henderson office for a quick day trip.

This has been a pathetic update, but, hey, it's something...
