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 [...]
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 [...]
Tough Kid

The past week was indexed by illnesses. Silas Wedsnesday through Saturday, Molly Saturday through Wednesday, Adam Wednesday through Friday. We passed around the cold bug and the assorted symptoms of…. ah let’s not talk about those, they’re unpleasant. Silas felt better almost immediately after receiving his ear-infection antibiotics, though it’s still hard to keep his [...]
6 Months 2 weeks
Posted in the boy, Weekly Portrait on February 12, 2010 | 3 Comments »
I think it’s 6 months two weeks anyway. I’m typing fast here as Silas is asleep on the couch but due to wake up any time now. No big events this week; it was pretty quiet. His two bottom teeth have well popped through now and he doesn’t seem bothered. He slept through the night [...]
