So here is a brief run down of our last month or so.
1. I was offered a job in Traverse City. We're moving next June.
2. Joel had his first Father's Day. Dela got him a kiddy pool. Fun ensued....
3. I've taken up cheese making, inspired by some friends of ours. So far I've made queso blanco, mozerella and ricotta. They all turned out pretty well.
4. Tim Russert Died. We are very sad. GGRRR Nachos GRRRR Football GRRR GOP. I don't know how we're going to make it through this year's presidential elections.
5. Joel is now Mr. Mom. He and Adeline have been spending some good quality time together while I'm at work.
6. We've both finished reading World War Z and feel pretty confident I could survive the Zombie wars. Sorry Kevin and Holly you aren't getting your Machete back. Now I'm on to the Omnivore's Dilemma. Adeline has taken to her nighttime story. She tries to reach for the pictures and grab the words. Curious george is covered in drool.
7. Adeline had her 4 month check up. She now weighs about 13# 7oz and is growing more every day. 
8. Our garden was decimated not by the usual suspects like deer, rabbits and slugs but by quarter sized hail.
9. The new residents start on Tuesday as does my 2nd tenure as chief. God save us all.
10. We're heading up to the farm this weekend to show off the baby and to get a little R&R. We'll see many of you soon.
