Just wanted to let everyone know that Lenny got the first round astronaut letter last week! He applied in the spring and the astronaut selection committee started sending out requests to qualified applicants to get flight physicals and he got one! The people he asked to be references are also getting letters and forms to fill out as well.
We have not figured out how many people have gotten those letters (we have heard anywhere from 400 to 120 people get those letters out of the many, many thousands that apply). So this is really good news. Lenny will get his physical sometime this week and then we wait for the the next letter. The next set will be a request for an interview and the big fancy physical that NASA performs sometime in January.
We are so excited and I am really proud of Lenny!

Happy Birthday Samantha! 4 weeks old!
Samantha is a month old today! Yeah! Luckily she is young enough not to remember the Michigan football season this year :)
She is doing well. She finally got back up to birth weight this week! A little behind, but we are getting her more food now. It's a long story, but the bottom line is that we will have to supplement with formula for the time being. My milk supply just isn't producing enough. So we can't rely on breastfeeding alone. There's more to it and I will post the whole story some other time. But she's getting back on track with her weight and we couldn't be happier.
We have had a ton of visitors - Grandma and Grandpa Fischer, Uncle Patrick, and Grandma and Grandpa Cassady. We can't thank them enough for their help. We also want to thank all the people who have come over to visit and helped out with dinners! The meals really helped us out!
We posted some more pictures at this link - Samantha - Week 2 -3.
Enjoy!
