It seems that things either aren’t happening at all, or they’re all happening at once. My inner cynic believes that the Creator is something of a jester, and must have decided to structure the universe this way: when things are going really well, you’re busy, and you have no time to enjoy life. […]
On us, so there will be no sea kayaking excursion for us today. But no complaints, really because up until this point the weather has been near-perfect: Scattered clouds, high 60’s to low 70’s. Also, no complaints because after 3 days in the saddle, we can use a day of just sitting and […]
I’ve been getting near exhausted lately. Some bad news for the business (our newest grant was triaged by the NIH), followed by a lot of work stress because another grant was due to be submitted. But the process is getting easier every time I do it, so maybe this won’t be so bad […]
The website has once again changed around. The growing number of family photos, and some perverse desire of mine to post older stuff as well, led me to abandon the old system, which wasn’t really scaling very well. So, here we are, the brand-spanking new Wordpress/Gallery2 version of the family website. Have […]
So we’ve been busy. And sick. Busy and sick basically describes the last 2 or 3 months. Other than bringing home three diseases from day care, a lot has happened with The Boy in that time, so I guess some words should be writeen to go with the pictures. He’s sitting […]
I’ve split the “More Elliott” page into two pages. “More Elliott” covers everything from two weeks up to three months, and “Even More Elliott” covers everything from three months up until now (or six months, which ever comes first).
It may be hard to see in the new pictures, but Elliott was a garden gnome (think travelocity) for Halloween. Michael was a gardener, because we didn’t have time to make a costume for him. Betsey was supposed to be a garden - putting flowers in her hair & clothing, etc. - but didn’t have […]
As you can tell from the most recent photos, the boy has learned to stick his tongue out. Betsey informs me that he is stretching out his phrenulum (spelling?), that bit of flesh that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. Along with this movement, there have been lots of gummy […]
Its been over a month now since we updated the blog, so there’s a lot to cover. There have been few “events”, other than Betsey returning to work full-time, and feeling somewhat guilty for doing so. As I have pointed out to her, this is bunk, and she is far from the stereotypical “too busy” […]
We had a group of our friends over last night for labor day. Jesse remarked to Stephanie that when they started dating (almost two years ago by my remembering), these gatherings of MAHEC-related friends contained essentially no children. These parties typically run 20 people or so, so we’ll say that the adult to child ratio […]
