Emily's been making dissertation progress and is starting to reach out to some of the programs here to see if perhaps in a half year or so she could adjunct or collaborate on something.
Tomorrow is the day I'm to turn in grading. Two of three classes are finished and I just have to review one more set.
Last night Emily took the kids to the pool with an "auntie" friend of ours. They had a blast. She said Eli in particular was gleeful, although just a little afraid. We'd thought Eva the natural swimmer, but time will tell. Sam is coming along also. Emily said he's almost better under water than above. He's still doing Friday lessons, which are fun.
We're trying to enjoy these days. I still am feeling a little "stuck" lately. I think it's probably because I know my job now and have a sense of what will change and what won't, and of what I will be able to do well and what will always be more or less of a struggle. I'm still thinking about it all. At some point we'll have a face-to-face to confirm any changes in the coming semester (housing, teaching, etc.). On the upside, as a family we're growing up a little. I'm also really glad Emily is coming along well and seems to have focus and energy.
More updates as we get them! Hope you are all well.
