Hooray for Nate

Nate is off at a banquet tonight. He's receiving a pretty big award--the AFMC 2009 midlevel career military scientist of the year. Since the AFMC pretty much has all the scientists doing research and stuff in the Air Force, he's the equivalent of the captain-level scientist of the year for the whole Air Force. I'd planned to go with him at first, but then I realized that it's not exactly the sort of place you bring a newborn to, and I wasn't ready to leave him with a babysitter yet. I haven't tried him on a bottle yet, so I don't know if he'd take it or not. He really doesn't like pacifiers, so I won't be surprised if he doesn't like the bottle, either. So I ended up not going. Oh well. But congrats to Nate.
