  • Coming and Going

    After a stressful few months, there is an employed adult in the house!  Huzzah! In order not to rush back to the Land of Cubicles, we headed to the beach to celebrate.  Given that shortly our favorite beach may be an oil slick, it seemed an opportune time to visit.  We had good weather, the kids were super little road trippers (we got out there in one 14 hour day), and everyone loved the Gulf, the sand crabs, and the seashells.  Seph has taken off with the camera, but I'll get the pictures up when I get a chance.

    Not too surprisingly, Chance is the one that got a job offer first.  I was kind of in the middle of an interview process when he did, for a job that I would have enjoyed, but given that molecular biology just doesn't cover the bills quite as effectively it worked out for the best.  I'm hopeful that I might be able to find a part-time position with them in the future.  Of course, the new job returns Chance to his up-and-down Mopac commute, his least favorite part of having a job--I'm hoping to get him a bunch of 'Learn to Speak Italian' cds to listen to, and thus turn him into a cute italian guy.  Ha! Kidding. He'd be complaining about the lack of a consistent dipthong structure or something, and it would drive me crazy.

    The kids are all precisely as you'd expect.  Cotton is a screaming meanie, Rone is a whirling dervish, and Seph is longing for the days when she can be a mopey tween, alternating with being extremely helpful and sweet.  Right now Seph's on a trip with friends, and we're plotting adventures for Rone and Cotton.  

    There is a demand for chocolate chip pancakes from downstairs (Come makeus pancakeus!) so further updates will have to wait.  I'll get pictures up soon.
