Friday

Everyday I try to learn some new and valuable lesson. Some days are better than others. The lesson of today was learned quite early in the day and it was this: Never go to bed with a dirty house because you never know who will be trapsing through the house in the morning. There is also probably a lesson to be learned here in night-time wear, but that's another story for another time...
Our carbon monoxide detector started going off about 5:15 this morning. We thought it might be that the battery was dead - so we changed it out and opened up some windows to air out the house. It didn't help - it was still going off. We felt okay, but didn't want to risk anything with Caroline, so we got ourselves outside and called the Worcester Fire Department. They were able to come check out every inch of the house with their detectors and came to the conclusion that we have a faulty detector (I'm going to buy a new one today). But the experience was enough to make me check up on the signs and symptoms of CO poisoning.

Here are some new pics of Caroline and Junior...
