Thinking back on our week I guess we mostly hid inside. We ventured out to the public pool twice, and twice were shot down. Once the pool was full to capacity, and at another pool we found the family swim hours were different on the weekend, so we were only allowed to dip Silas in [...]

Run for the border

But we hit the brakes in Austin last weekend, for the wedding of one of Molly’s oldest friends, Meg Kemp and her now-husband Dan McGreevey. It was an awesome wedding, in a sculpture garden, and despite the forecast calling for 92 and sunny, it was a cool 87 and slightly overcast. Following the ceremony they [...]
School starting

The quad in which we live is now full of students, some 1500 in this complex, as they rolled in Wednesday and Thursday this week. Huge piles of cardboard boxes and packing materials have sprung up as people move into their dorm rooms. Refrigerators, microwaves, particle board furniture, stereos. I’m very glad those days are [...]
Bags under the eyes in Bucks County

Socializing consumed the past week in Madison, as we spent as much time with our friends there as we could fit in, while still packing up our stuff, finished projects, loaded the moving truck, and cleaned the house back up for showings. It was as full as you may be imagining. A small benefit of [...]
Happy Birthday Molly!

Happy Birthday to my fine lady, who turns a year older today. Ah what the heck, she turns 31. If I’m wrong about that I’m dead. Thankfully she doesn’t seem overly sensitive to the passing of another year, and she is gaining energy as she steps up to mother Silas, put up with my crap, [...]
Don’t worry we’ll pack the yellow chair

Any news this week….huh. Molly was offered a job a few weeks back and we finally received the formal contract and signed off on it. Molly will be working at the University of Pennsylvania, as an Assistant Dean in the advising department. It’s a great career move for her, and required that she had her [...]
Boogie Woogie

Silas has developed his own little dance moves, although unfortunately I didn’t catch it on video yet. Oh but I will… Grandma Weaver is out with us this week visiting us visiting Silas, which frees us up to do house projects, and shirk responsibilities for a little while. Shirking responsibilities is hard work though, when [...]
Busy week Part I

So busy I’m posting today, then again tomorrow. Silas may not grant me enough time to put up everything tomorrow. Even now he is banging a giant lego on my toe. We made the drive to Virginia this week for the wedding of Molly’s cousin Patrick McGlone and Alida Kenney. Beautiful wedding, beautiful weather, good [...]
Stand up and be counted Silas

Dang this kid is getting fast. He’s crawling all over now, and standing up on anything possible, including the baby gate, his crib bars, various tables, boxes, and chairs. He’s confident but still doesn’t know how to get down from standing, aside from spinning and falling. He usually lands on his butt, but we have [...]
OMG- Frau Doktor Molly McGlone

Years of hard work, ten years? have finally paid off. Molly successfully defended her dissertation, “Excavating Experimentalism,” this Monday at UW Madison. She has a virtual doctorate. Papers still need to be filed by May 15, and she has some typos to fix, but that should be a formality. Silas and I are very proud [...]
