Gabe continues to gain weight well. Even after letting him skip a feeding at night, he gained about 6 or 7 ounces this week. He weighed in at 13-5 yesterday. I was hoping it wouldn't be a problem for two reasons - first of all, ofcourse we want to see him continue to gain weight and be healthy, but it is also allowing us to get just a little more sleep! It would have been a real bummer if we had to go back to every three hours at night!

Separately we got bittersweet news yesterday. Josh is being promoted to sergeant, but it means he has to leave the k-9 unit, and give up Brix. It's a great opportunity, that may not come again for years due to a significant number of retiring upper brass right now. The flip side is how much he loves what he is doing now and ofcourse Brix is part of the family, so it will be sad to see him go in a few weeks. This will certainly be a big transition for Josh, and all of us, especially depending on the hours he ultimately winds up working. I have no doubt he will be a great sergeant - he's a good person and a good leader, but I know it was a difficult decision for him and I am sad it was so hard. It is a good thing, but pray for us as we adjust to such a big change.
