Tech, Teeth, and Pigtails

Jason got to take advantage of a neat opportunity.  He had an opportunity to serve as a quasi adjunct professor for a capstone environmental design class at Texas Tech.  His graduate school advisor recently got promoted to the dean of undergraduate studies for the College of Engineering.  They'll have full time faculty to administer the class, but they didn't have anyone available with a PE license to help out.  So Jason and another colleague got the opportunity to serve as a consultant and advisor to the students as they work on their year-long design project.  On Tuesday and Wednesday, he went to Lubbock to meet the students.  He enjoyed getting to spend some time being back on campus.

Once again, Kennedy is getting more teeth.  Now that her molars are here, her canines are starting to come in.  And just like before, it looks like she's getting all four at once.  She's a trooper though.

Rachel ran in a 5k on Saturday.  It was the "Color Me Rad" run.  The participants get colored powder thrown at them as they run along the course.  Rachel got lucky because it was right near her work where she had access to a locker room to get cleaned up before we headed back home.

Kennedy has started to climb up and go down the slide on her own.  She kept herself pretty well entertained going around in circles.  That makes unloading the dishwater much easier!  She normally wants to "help" with that chore.

As you can see in the photos below, Kennedy spent some time visiting on the iPad this weekend.  She is getting better about engaging with the FaceTime app.  It served as a nice distraction from her pigtails.  She normally pulls them out as soon as you put them in.  We were able to distract her long enough on Sunday that she kept them in for about 30 minutes.
