No news here

Hi all,

Kevin is up at Dartmouth tonight for the AQ Trustees and Overseers weekend, and both of my kids are asleep. I just sat down to a bowl of cereal for dinner (truly one of life's simple pleasures).

Nothing really exciting to report here. I got Mary Grace her first pair of scissors this week, and she has gotten quite proficient with them. I didn't realize that it's not exactly intuitive to use scissors, but she figured it out. She seems to be a leftie (like me), but prefers to use scissors with her right hand (also like me). Also, I had to give Christian a nebulizer treatment in the pediatrician's office this week, which was among the most miserable 20 minutes of my life. I know there are some of you out there who can sympathize.

As for where the smiling faces of my darling children went, Kevin thought it was a bad idea to have their pictures on a blog that can be accessed by the general public. I don't really understand why it's so bad, but perhaps I just don't have enough appreciation for the creeps in the world, so I defer to his judgement.

Kristin, hang in there with studying for the boards. Total misery, and the vast majority of the material will have exited your brain by the time you leave the testing room and you will never need it again.

I need to go on record with something, and request an informal poll. I take exception to the recent practice of posting major life-changing events on this blog. I mean, we have known each other for more than ten years, and I have learned about babies and engagements on the blog of all places. I am strongly against this practice. Opinions?
