the going ons





For those of you who eagerly await my post (unlikely, but such a thought is good for my ego), my apologies for the rather lengthy delay. Work and family obligations have kept me busy over the summer break. Things here are laudable. Manuela has adjusted all the appropriate knobs and lubricated the necessary sprockets and consequently, she has the domestic engine firing on all cylinders. It is a thing of beauty to behold.

Mila, as a result of her increased ability to communicate and our increased disciplinary tactics, has relented in her wave of parental revolt. She is, thanks be to God, once again a joy to be a round. One of her favorite, and more amusing past times, is her "singing" - which is more akin to high pitched squealing repeated over and over again, which, nevertheless, is so delightful to her ears that it subsequently causes her to break out in "dance" - which is a frantic circular trot, inevitably resulting in a dizzied collapse.

There is only one way to describe Ezra...paridisiac. He has begun to flip and flop around like a fish out of water and I am sure it will not be long until he is up on his hands and knees. After that it is just a few short months until he is cracking skulls on the football pitch.

As for me, I am eager to begin classes next week. cheerio.
