Cusp of Summer
The Pumpkin will be coming back to Seattle for the summer in a few weeks, and at that point I'll be so busy I doubt I'll have time to think about posting to LJ, much less actually do it. Work's been steadily getting busier as the months have progressed, and the public announcement is just one more turn of the pressure crank. Still, I'm enjoying my work and being more integrated (at least in terms of physical space) with a team than I had been for a number of years. We'll see how the review turns out, but so far, so good.
Professor X is getting more interesting and complex by the day. A few weeks back he watched his first full-length feature film, and he has been Cars branded ever since. Last week he was home sick for several days--one of those kid fevers with a body rash that keeps him out of daycare for several days--and we broke out the Netflix Thomas the Tank-Engine and the Mater's Tall Tales since that first day he really didn't want to do anything but sit on the couch and watch TV. Ever since, the first thing he says in the morning is "More Maea. More Choo-choo". His brother will be very proud of his burgeoning TV addiction. For myself, I've inadvertently memorized the Engine Rollcall song.
We are still pressing on with the planning for our house renovation. It will all come down to the bank giving a thumbs up or down in the next month or two...
