Good things for July
1 - I saw Jonah's first tooth poking through! [This seems like forever ago now, a month later, when he has two well-established teeth]2 - Fork Union Drive-In (first movie out with Jonah)
3 - Great nap to recover from the double feature at the drive-in
4 - Oooh. Ahhh. Fireworks in Earlysville.
5 - Aunt Mary Kay and Second Cousin Lydia (age 6) came to visit.
6 - Very productive Monday-on-a-Tuesday at work.
7 - We stopped by Bodo's for dinner.
8 - Ice-cream social at work for a birthday celebration. Best part was that someone liked the Orange Crush topping we've been trying to unload.
9 - After a bizarre spontaneous trip to Cici's to hear about Crystal's camp experience, we went to Big Lots, where I found boxes of Spree candy, which I had been looking for unsuccessfully for weeks. They are perfectly aged Spree.
10 - Volunteered to drive a parking shuttle for a Habitat For Humanity event. More excitement was later in the day, meeting baby Grayson.
11 - Slept in! And free buffet at Maharaja from our frequent-dining card.
12 - Played with Jonah in his new umbrella stroller.
13 - Amanda and Jonah met me for dinner downtown between meetings.
14 - Board meeting at work, but I didn't have to present. I like them best when I go but don't have to present.
15 - Charlottesville Transit Summit was entertaining, if not earth-shattering.
16 - Took the train to Staunton! Nice fellow passenger at the train station there gave us a great tip about going through the parking garage instead of walking up the hill to get to our digs, the historic Stonewall Jackson Hotel.
17 - Walking tour, gelato, huge stromboli, trolley ride to the mini-train, and generally being on vacation. Mmm vacation.
18 - Glass-blowing, more vacating, and ROOMETTE!
19 - Received offer of CTS bus stop sign to add to my collection.
20 - Productive day at work, and then my parents stopped by for a visit.
21 - Great presentations at church about mission trips
22 - Lunch downtown with a transit expert
23 - Drove a bus for the first time in over a month, and it had A/C, which was crucial since it was over 100 degrees outside.
24 - Amanda and I celebrated six years of marriage with a fondue dinner.
25 - The non-reunion family get-together for Amanda's grandmother's family was held indoors instead of in the 104-degree heat.
26 - Roller coasters and old friends (perhaps another non-reunion gathering).19 - Received offer of CTS bus stop sign to add to my collection.

27 - Very productive evening: Maurice and Amanda fixed the dryer while I put Jonah down for a nap, we ate dinner, Jonah got a bath, I got a haircut, I talked to my parents.
28 - Steak and cake for mother-in-law's birthday celebration
29 - We cherished our only normal evening at home this week (although nothing is normal with a baby around).
30 - I shut the door at work and tried to get some work done. I was mildly successful.
31 - Amanda and Jonah got to see my high school for the first time at the non-reunion Alumni Day (that's three non-reunion reunions this month!).
