Out of Commission
Our laptop caught a little virus last night so we took it to seek professional help from the Geek Squad. Hopefully it will be back up and running when we return from our little trip to Vernon. Until then, auf wiedersehen.

Synesthesia
A week or so ago Spencer and I were engaged in our usual evening routine of surfing the web and watching TV when Spencer happened upon an article about Synesthesia; a phenomenon in which two or more bodily senses are coupled.While reading the article Spencer immediately thought of our sister-in-law Tracy who associates numbers with colors and personalities. However, upon reading further, he discovered that he too has a form of this phenomenon called "number form synethesia." He basically has a mental map of numbers which appears automatically whenever he thinks of them. Numbers, months, and dates have a geographic position in relation to each other.
I was totally floored when I heard about this. First, because I've known him for five years and never new he thought this way. And second, because if I were to even think about numbers having a "place" it would be in a straight line running from left to right and for infinity. None the less, Spencer is a synesthete.

Four Weeks
Van is four weeks old today. It's amazing how much our life has changed in just a few short weeks. He's growing and changing everyday. Lately we've noticed that he's holding his head up incredibly well. He's also discovered how to suck on his fist. As you can see, we're quite smitten by him.
