The above is a picture of Henry in his new favorite position. He loves to be carried around in the bjorn. I suppose it is like he's back in the womb. For Meg it has been great. He can sleep while she gets things done. Last night "they" made me a delicious Middle Eastern themed dinner of kebabs, pita chips and stuffed grape leaves.

I also did some penny searching. I looked through four boxes of pennies, 10,000 coins. In them I found one hundred six Wheats, sixty-one Canadians, and one Bermuda 1¢. One of the Wheats was one I needed, 1924S. It's a bit beat up, but it's a relatively rare one. By mintage numbers it's the second rarest I've found. Only 11.7 million were made; 9.1 million were made of the rarest I've found, the 1932. It was good to find a fair number of Wheats again and it had been sixty-eight days since my last new penny find. The breakdown was:

1919S, 1920, 1924S, 1930, 1935D, 1936(3), 1938, 1939(4), 1940(5), 1941(5), 1942(6), 1944(10), 1945(9), 1946(3), 1947, 1948D, 1950(2), 1950D, 1951D, 1952(3), 1952D(5), 1953(4), 1953D(3), 1955, 1955D(2), 1956(5), 1956D(12), 1957(4), 1957D(7), 1958, 1958D(2)

Found: 32 pennies (1 at work, 1 at Sovereign Bank), 2 nickels, 1 dime, 1 quarter
