I'm just going to blame it all on facebook. I started this whole thing to update the family, and now they're mostly all on facebook, so I've gotten a bit lazy. Alright, REALLY lazy. Anyhow, to make up for some lost time, here are some quality moments over the past 6 months.
As an update on the family... For one, I'm finally done with my contract at work - originally a 2 month one, extended to three, then another year slapped on it. After next Tuesday, I will be a full time (as if before it was only part time!) mother. I've looked around for other jobs, but honestly nothing has popped up that is remotely worth leaving Marius, so I'm just going to stay put for a while and think things through. I'm really leaning towards going back to school to get a PhD. I'm also thinking about starting up a green home/office consulting business with another mom friend.
But in the mean time, I'm going to make a huge effort to teach Marius how to swim and ride his bike. Two things that every little boy ought to know how to do!
Simon is in San Fran like he is every year at this time.... And it's snowing here, like it is every year when he leaves. Simon's work is going well. He's finally gotten some grant money so he can play with more dirt (oh sorry, I mean SOIL!) and pay his grad student to help.
Marius is talking up a storm! Today in the car ride home from nursery, he said "Daddy will be home today." I got the BEST ever response when I told him no, that Daddy was in California to talk to people about his work, and how daddy is really very clever (clever is what people here say for smart - smart, for some reason, means stylish here!). Marius replied "but Daddy is not Mr. Clever!" I had just read him Mr. Clever, from the Little Miss and Mr. book series! Oh lord, I just about needed to pull over and die laughing when we said that. Ohhh, too cute!
I keep trying to get Marius into sitting down and writing in his alphabet and number workbooks. But he'd rather make big scribbles all over them instead of following the instructions I read to him... I'm hoping he's a late bloomer like Simon.

THANK YOU. (I won't say it's about time.) The we all watched and laughed as we ate breakfast. Loved the bus ride because we recognized the route and the tartan bus seats are unforgettable. The only thing better is Marius at the front of the bus. Hope he liked the digestive.
