I worked on getting the camper ready most of the afternoon today, mostly figuring out how to work the stove, oven, heater, and fridge (still not sure about the fridge, I couldn't get it to turn on). Also I flushed the water system to get the antifreeze out; my guess is I'll have to flush it again a few times before sanitizing it. Last night Beth and I went to see "X2" with another couple from church (it was date night; once a month our church has free child care for the entire evening so the parents can go out on a date. The rule is if you use the child care, you work a date night another time. We were going to go out to Ritter's for dessert but when we got outside, there was more lightning going on in the sky than I had ever seen, it had evidently downpoured recently, and before we got to the cars we heard a siren for a tornado warning. So, Ritter's was off, and we rushed back to the church. Alex had slept almost the entire time we were gone. We switched to a different formula yesterday, and ever since, he has eaten less and less frequently, been less fussy, spit up a lot less, and slept better. Woo hoo.
