We had a pretty nice weekend. The country fair sponsored by Organic Valley was very interesting. We took a tour of one of their dairy farms. It was a lot like the farm I grew up on, rather than the more industrial type that we've always seen at the breakfast on the farm. It was really nice to be able to show Luis and the girls the "real" small family farm that I remember. We didn't actually get to attend any of the workshops or presentation because of helping out Lisa and John. John decided to go with Lisa to her presentation, so I covered their booth for them and Luis had the kids. However, I had some really neat conversations wih some people walking by and some of the vendors in the market, and I finally got the name of the contact person for the Viroqua Waldorf School holiday fair. I plan on participating in that this year if the booth rate is reasonable. Luis and the kids took the tour of Organic Valley's new headquarters. It's amazing how enviromentally responsible the building is - almost everything is recycled, energy efficient, etc. The more I learn about Organic Valley, the more I like them.

Vincent is well on his way to using the potty totally. He's been out of diapers for a week now, and he's doing great. He's still having some accidents, while wearing clothes particularly, but only one or two accidents a day. Saturday at the fair I was concerned because he'd be spending the entire day in clothes, but he didn't even have a single accident.
