All goes well - here are some catch-up tidbits and news:
- The only thing better than living 2 blocks from a library is living 2 blocks from a library that they're going to knock down to build a new one. The imminent demolition project is consuming a great deal of attention in this family.
- All the talk of wrecking balls and worksites has caused a little confusion. We've started talking to the kids about our upcoming move (tentatively scheduled for early fall - on the waterfront, same town), and Jacob said, "when we move to Don and Sara's house will the workers knock down our house"
- I left Molly alone at the dinner table last night while I was dealing with the other two. At bedtime, she told Kate that she had had maple syrup for dinner. Sure enough, the syrup pitcher was empty. I figure she drank about a cup. And she proceeded to have a completely normal night's sleep, while her brother managed to turn a late night "sore toe" into some hockey playoff time with Kate on the couch. I was away, losing the family fortune in a poker game.
- Recent conversation:
Me: Jacob, don't be obtuse
Jacob: I'm not a goose, I'm a turkey
- Had been very excited about the Habs game one victory, but no confidence remains now that they're down 3-1. A little sheepish that my playoff pool team includes 7 Capitals and no Habs.
- We just finished Season 3 of Mad Men. Loved it. Great show that keeps getting better.
- Zoë is getting closer to walking and she's "talking" up a storm. I'll try to get some fresh photos posted soon
