Noah Finds His Voice!

I've heard about singers finding their voices, but a baby? Yes, indeed! Noah has learned to say things outloud, in a strong voice. This is different from a baby's cry, or asking to be held. He can now project his voice, and he's reveling in his ability.

Also, worthy of note, Noah can now move around on his back on his mat, and turn on his side, though he still has a bit of trouble on his front, but can lift himself a tiny bit. Soon, he'll be crawling around bitting at my ankles.

In reflection, it was just four months ago that Noah opened his eyes for the first time, and now he's singing baroque - well, not exactly.... :-).

The vacation time for me during this July has been busy teaching at kids' camp for my university, as well as in other venues. Our money situation couldn't be better, and the quality of work is only improving by the year. In general, we are exceedingly lucky and are very grateful for all that we have. We hope to share our blessings with as many others as possible as time passes.

For those of you with investments, please check out www.solari.com/blog. The worst is yet to come for financial markets. Over the past six months our family has been building up our positions in gold to nearly 50% of our non-real estate investments. My favorite quote comes this time comes from Catherine Austin-Fitts of solari.com,

“Real estate has little or no value when the people who live in it don’t have jobs.”
