Happy Birthday ... Part I

This Meg, Henry and I traveled out to Meg's parents for the first part of his 2nd birthday festivities. Meg's mother made a cool car cake and we opened presents. We didn't sing to Henry as he seems not to like that for some reason. Henry was most interested in four little cars that were originally on his cake. Later in the evening Meg and I got to go see a movie together and in the morning we went out for breakfast. It was a good weekend for Henry. Lots of exciting times and even two days in a row with outside time!





I did pretty well with this weeks half dollars. 8,006 of them turned up five 90% silver halves (5 x 1964), forty-eight (2 x 1965, 7 x 1966, 23 x 1967, 9 x 1968D, 7 x 1969D) and two proof halves (2003S, 2004S).

I also searched 6,000 pennies. In them were forty-nine Wheats, fifty-three Canadians, four US dimes and one Barbados 1¢. The Wheats were:

19??, 1920, 1925, 1929, 1935, 1936, 1938, 1939, 1940, 1941, 1942(2), 1944(7), 1944S, 1946, 1946D, 1947, 1947D, 1950D, 1951, 1951D(3), 1952(2), 1952D(2), 1953D(2), 1954, 1956, 1956D(7), 1957, 1957D(3), 1958, 1958D

Found: 5 pennies (3 at work, 1 outside Bank of America, 1 at the Tiger Mart)

Sharing Tea

Here's two cute pictures of Henry sharing tea with his stuffed monkeys. When I got home he wanted to set things up again. It was very cute how kept warning Meg and I that the tea was "hot!"





Last week Meg e-mailed me this little conversation she had with Henry.

Henry: Dad? Dad?
Me: Dad?
Henry: Work. Dad work.
Me: Yes, Dad's at work.

It's a good example of our recent communication with him.

I didn't do too bad with last night's coins.

8,000 halves (last week's) produced two 90% silver halves (2 x 1964) and twenty-two 40% silver halves (2 x 1965, 3 x 1966, 8 x 1967, 7 x 1968D, 2 x 1969D).

4,500 dimes turned up three silver Rosies (1952, 1960, 1962D), eight Canadians (one was a 1960, 80% silver), one Columbia 10 Pesos (1991), two US pennies and a small washer. The Columbian coin is a new type for me.



1,200 nickels rounded up one War Time (1942S), three Canadians (1 Ni, a 1938, King George VI nickel) and a key date Jefferson (1951S).

Found: 2 dimes (1 at Burger King, 1 at work)

Last night I just searched some quarters. 6,600 of them produced one silver Washington (1964D), eight Canadians, five US nickels, one US penny, one US dime and one Canadian nickel.

Here's some good Henry pictures from the past few days. Don't worry we do dress him these days!









Yesterday I finished reading Palenque: Eternal City of the Maya by David Stuart and George Stuart. I've known about the authors for some time. David Stuart is a well-known Mayan epigrapher and his father, George, is a Mayan archaeologist. The book details the currently known history of Palenque and it's subsequent rediscovery. Most of the book was a bit of a refresher for me, but images within it are great and reading the perspective of an expert in Mayan glyphs was a real treat. I wish other Mayan cities were treated in a similar a manner.

Found: 1 nickel (at Friendly's)
