A sleep log records the times that Jen and I get up with the baby in the night and any interventions (diaper changes, teething relief) needed to get him slumbering peacefully again. Part of our sleep training regimen, the log would also help us settle any equity disputes.

Oddly-shaped bits of molded rubber chill out in the fridge next to the yogurts. Owen began teething in earnest today; he's finally coordinated and determined enough to use these.

little Squirt was busy this a.m. massaging her gums with this stick.
Both puppies are getting big. They both have he sweetest little dispositions.
If they are outside, and my kitchen door is open they stand at the fence and whine until I come out and pay attention to them! 8-)
What's in my bag.
Well, this is the gist of it. Generally my big camera is in there too. And some diapers/wipes which are currently in the car.
My giant Moop bag that was a birthday present that I'd been eyeing for a while. I will say though that it's a bit too big but in the same respect it's just right for the amount of junk I seem to carry around with me.
My Overland Equipment wallet that is just the greatest, half the time I leave the bag in the car and just grab that.
Two toys for the littles (a wooden teething necklace and a little wooden caterpillar).
My phone. A couple of bribery lollipops. My eyeglasses, hat and mittens.
Two more OE bags, the big one has a bunch of random things (gum, advil, hair ties, that sort of stuff) the little one has a silly amount of pens and pencils, a sharpener and a pair of USB drives.
Change purse (because the littles are always on the lookout for spare change for piggy banks). Kind bar (so good). Spare grocery bag. Miscellaneous receipt. Something my son colored at school and put in my bag.
A pair of Hut Huts (Have you ever seen the children's movie Toy Story? At the start of the DVD the little green army men come across the screen saying "hut hut hut" and so my son (obsessed with that movie) calls them "hut huts.") A rubber band and another hair clip.
The arm and hammer diaper bags that are seriously the greatest thing ever invented to stick a poppy diaper in. Seriously.
And my notebook. Generally I have my journal in here too. But I seem to be taking a break from that at the moment as I work through a writing course that I really should have finished by now.
Damn that's a lot of stuff. And yet when I put everything back in there, I could still fit my Nook and/or a hardcover book. It does get heavy though. And I still need to come up with some sort of camera bag/cover/life jacket because that's the one thing that I am most in trouble of breaking while in there.
Facel Vega history
The French company Facel (Forges et Ateliers de Construction due’s et Loire) was first established in 1938 as a manufacturer of stainless steel products for the aircraft industry. After the second world war Facel began constructing automobile bodies for Simca, Ford France and Panhard.
In those days, the company was under the leadership of Jean Daninos.
Jean Daninos had always dreamt of manufacturing his own design of super car; the "Grand Routier" or in other words, a luxurious, comfortable and practical 4-person sports car. 1954 saw this dream become a reality with the introduction of the first ever Facel automobile onto the market, the Facel Vega FV1, equipped with a powerful and trustworthy American V8 Chrysler motor.
The addition of the Chrysler motor meant that Facel was one of the first manufacturers to combine European styled body work with a big reliable American V8...
The Facel Vega's were expensive and highly exclusive but they sold well, particularly amongst film stars and the rich and famous. With the passage of time the newer models became increasingly more expensive as extra improvements and features were introduced. At the end of the 1950’s, Facel had a motor designed specifically for use in a smaller model, the Facellia.
Unfortunately, these motors had so many teething problems that the huge amount of warranty claims they caused led the company into serious financial difficulties. The last ever models of the Facel line were fitted with Volvo P1800 (Facel III) and Austin Healey 150 pk six cylinder motors ( Facel 6). In 1964 this proud automobile finally went out of production.
Facel Vegas are cherished by enthusiasts all over the world to this very day. This extremely unique class of vehicle can easily be placed alongside classic makes such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley en Lagonda. Even though Facel did not manufacture it’s own motors, it is safe to say that the vehicle commonly known as the "Grand Routiers" of automobiles is of absolute top class and continues to leave a deep and lasting impression.
Facel 6
For some years Facel Vega founder and owner Jean Daninos had the idea to fill the 'gap' between the Chrysler powered V8 models and the compact Facel III had the Volvo four cylinder engine. He decided to develop a six cylinder model. In the year 1964 the Facel 6 was presented. The Facel 6 was based on the Facel III. The Facel 6 featured a stronger chassis and a longer bonnet to house the six cylinder in line engine. This robust engine was a slightly modified Austin Healey unit producing 150 SAE bhp. and giving the Facel 6 a top speed of 195 km/h. The four speed manual gearbox and the live rear axle were carried over from the powerful V8 models. The level of luxury was also a step up from the Facel III model.
The Facel 6 was conceived in a time frame at which Facel Vega was struggling for survival. As the firm went into receivership in 1964 a total of 44 Facel 6 cars were built. 35 coupes, 1 Hardtop Soudé (cabriolet with fixed hardtop) and 8 cabriolets.

Some background:
The Mitsubishi J2M Raiden (雷電, "Thunderbolt") was a single-engined land-based fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service in World War II. The Allied reporting name was "Jack".
The J2M was designed by Jiro Horikoshi, creator of the A6M Zero, to meet the 14-Shi (14th year of the Showa reign, or 1939) official specification. It was to be a strictly local-defense interceptor, intended to counter the threat of high-altitude bomber raids, and thus relied on speed, climb performance, and armament at the expense of manoeuvrability. The J2M was a sleek, but stubby craft with its oversized Mitsubishi Kasei engine buried behind a long cowling, cooled by an intake fan and connected to the propeller with an extension shaft.
Teething development problems stemming from the Kasei engine cooling system, and the main undercarriage members led to a slowdown in production. The first few produced J2M2s were delivered to the development units in December 1942 but severe problems were encountered with the engines. Trials and improvements took almost a year and the first batch of the serial built J2M2 Model 11 was delivered to 381st Kōkūtai in December 1943. Parallel with the J2M2, production of the J2M3 Raiden Model 21 started. The first J2M3s appeared in October 1943 but deliveries to combat units started at the beginning of February 1944.
Primarily designed to defend against the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, the type was handicapped at high altitude by the lack of a turbocharger. However, its four-cannon armament supplied effective firepower and the use of dive and zoom tactics allowed it to score occasionally. The Raiden made its combat debut in June 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Several J2Ms operated from Guam and Saipan and a small number of aircraft were deployed to the Philippines. Later, some J2Ms were based in Chosen airfields, Genzan (Wonsan), Ranan (Nanam), Funei (Nuren), Rashin (Najin) and Konan under Genzan Ku, for defence of these areas and fighting against Soviet Naval Aviation units. Insufficient numbers and the American switch to night bombing in March 1945 limited its effectiveness.
A continual set of modifications resulted in new variants being introduced with the ultimate high-altitude variant, the J2M4 Model 34 flying for the first time in August 1944. It had a 1,420 hp Kasei 23c engine equipped with a turbo supercharger (mounted in the side of the fuselage just behind the engine) that allowed the rated power to be maintained up to 9,100 m (29,900 ft). Two upward-aimed, oblique-firing (aimed at seventy degrees) 20 mm cannons, mounted in the German Schräge Musik style, were fitted behind the cockpit with the four wing cannons retained. Unresolved difficulties with the turbo supercharger caused the project to be terminated after only two experimental J2M4s were built.
A few J2Ms survived the war. Two Raiden of the 381 Kōkūtai were captured in flightworthy condition at Johore in British Malaya and tested by the Allied Technical Air Intelligence Unit - Southeast Asia (ATAIU-SEA for short), a joint RAF-USAAF intelligence unit in charge of investigating Japanese aircraft capabilities. Tests were conducted in Singapore at RAF Seletar air base in late 1945, right after the end of hostilities in the Pacific theatre. The machines were evaluated by Japanese naval aviators under close supervision of RAF officers, and for the trials they received RAF roundels and new tactical codes, “BI-01” and “BI-02”, respectively.
Two other captured J2Ms were examined by the U.S. Technical Air Intelligence Command (TAIC), using 92 octane fuel plus methanol. One machine, an early J2M2 (“Jack11”) achieved a speed of 655 km/h (407 mph) at 5,520 m (17,400 ft), and the other one, a J2M3 (“Jack21”) even reached a top speed of 671 km/h (417 mph) at 4,980 m (16,600 ft).

I guess I should take a moment to explain what I have in mind for my 52 weeks project. My baby was born in June, and I've been struggling with being able to keep shooting for fun while attending to her needs as a full-time Mom. I've been writing for a blog (geneseecounty.citymomsblog.com/) and we always talk about the importance of the photography in our articles. Some of the contributors asked about stock photos: and that's when it hit me. I could be photographing "Mom life" from a stock photo perspective - either to be used for my own articles, or shared with others. It's something to dust off the DSLR, anyhow. I'll eventually get back to film, too!
Oh and there was not ONE day of sunshine this week here in Michigan. I had been going with a natural light theme; but I couldn't make that happen this week. Fong to the rescue! (I came up with that term for the Gary Fong Lightsphere and it quickly took off amongst the FlickrGR group).
Teething Owen fusses on the picnic blanket at Spring Lake Park. We met up with two other couples from Jen's moms group for the "Park n' Eat" gourmet food truck event.
JJ is teething, so he always has something in his mouth. That doesn't keep him from smiling, though.
Created for the short lived Group B race category, the 4WD mid engined MG 6R4 (6-cylinder, rally car, four-wheel-drive) Metro of 1984 was a world away from the best selling supermini to which it bore only a superficial cosmetic resemblance. The competition car effectively only shared the name of the production Metro as it featured a mid-mounted engine with four wheel drive transmission enclosed within a seam-welded tubular chassis. The development of this vehicle had been entrusted to Williams Grand Prix Engineering.
The resulting car was shown to the world in May 1985. It was powered by a David Wood designed bespoke 3.0L V6 powerplant which used some of the engine architecture of the Cosworth DFV. It featured twin overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. The engine was a break from the norm, as it wasn't turbocharged as the majority of its competitors were. The engine was mounted back to front in the car, with the forward end of the engine facing the hatchback and the gearbox attached conventionally behind it and, therefore, in the middle of the vehicle. The four-wheel-drive was permanently engaged, and drove separate propshafts to the front and rear differentials. The rear differential was mounted on the side of the engine sump with one driveshaft running through the sump to the nearside rear wheel. Much of the outer bodywork was made of GRP, with the only exception being the roof panels (which were aluminium) and the steel doors. These were, however, concealed by plastic airboxes. Indeed, models now on show generally have stickers demonstrating where it is safe to push from when moving the vehicle, so as not to damage the bodywork.
The 6R4 appeared in two guises. There was a so-called Clubman model which was the road going version which developed in the region of 250hp, of which around 200 were made and sold to the public for £40,000 (the homologation version). A further 20 were taken and built to International specifications which had a recorded output of over 410hp.
At its launch in 1985, Rover announced that it would complete the necessary number of cars required for homologation by November of that year. This was undertaken at the group's large manufacturing facility at Longbridge. The car was to participate in the Lombard RAC rally in November 1985, and an example, driven by works driver Tony Pond, finished a highly respectable third, behind two Lancia Delta S4s.
This good start was unfortunately not repeated, and although a 6R4 was entered in rallies at Monte Carlo, Sweden, Portugal and Corsica during the 1986 season, none of the Metros managed to complete a course. The majority of these problems were related to the V6 powerplant which suffered teething issues. Halfway during the 1986 season, Group B was banned (following a series of fatal crashes in which both competitors and spectators lost their lives). From that point on, the 6R4 was always going to be limited in front line competition, although they were run with limited success for the remainder of the year. A number passed into private hands and have proved formidable rally and rallycross cars. Despite the expiry of the 6R4's homologation the MSA still allow the cars to run in competition although engine sizes have been limited to 2800cc (single plenum engines) and 2500cc (multi-plenum engines).
Austin Rover withdrew from the rallying scene at the end of the season, but in 1987 all the parts and engines were sold to Tom Walkinshaw Racing, whereupon the V6 engine reappeared in the Jaguar XJ220, this time with turbochargers added.
Here are two handy guides to help you determine if your child’s teeth are erupting according to schedule. A good time for your child to make his or her first dental visit is 1 year of age, or 6 months after the first tooth erupts in the mouth.
Here you go, childless people. This is what a teething infant looks like at bedtime: A red-lined monitor.
If you can't handle this, best to enjoy your DINK lifestyle to its fullest.
Nana (that's me) bought Chloe a new Teether, that's the orange thing with the 4 little fingers. it's got tiny little ends for her little mouth, my daughter says she loves it.
