Hello!

Hello all! Here is my spot to keep everyone updated on all things we are up to. Expect the doings to be dominated by Phoebe because that's what it means to have a toddler!

But we do still manage to read some books without pictures and with complex sentences, and to watch some adult films and TV. So we do have a life of our own--when Phoebe lets us!

Of course, the co-Queen of the house is Zabar, who is pestering me for lunch as I type.

Phoebe had her first road trip since we moved on Saturday. Drove to Worcester to visit some of my family. Relatives were down from Maine, so we had a small cookout. Phoebe did well overall; everyone seemed to enjoy her antics. She surprised us, by giving everyone a hug before we left. I was first surprised that she understood what we wanted her to do, but then even more surprised that she did it!

We had a relatively quiet Father's Day. Took David out for breakfast then did some things around the house. Watched The Aviator over the course of the day. Thought it was really good.

What are we reading? Not counting stuff for school/work, I am reading The Last Girls, by Lee Smith. It is about a group of college friends who reunite after the death of one of their former roommates. Jumps back and forth in time. Each of the women takes her turn as the focus. It is pretty good so far.

David is reading Time's Arrow, by Martin Amis, but that is all I know. He will have to fill in further details! Phoebe reads a variety of books every day, and, well, Zabar can't read. But she can eat, and she is getting quite insistent, so I must go feed her.

Bye for now!
