Calm (?) before the Storm

I've been meaning to update our blog for awhile, but things have been a little busy, especially as I've been trying to get ahead on my work so I can take a bit of time off when Little Lumpy is born (late October/early November). Things are going well. I really like teaching at Eckerd. Everyone, faculty, staff, and students, have been great, and I'm really learning a lot there. Arlene and David are in good health. David still loves school.

Little Lumpy's 37 week ultrasound. This is a profile picture.

On the rooftop at Melanie's place.

David is really into Angry Birds, so I made him some paper ones to play with. I drew the pigs but he drew the bird.

Making the Angry Birds.

I picked David up at school one day and he was dressed like this.

My colleague (and office mate) Melanie had us over for dinner. Pictured here is another colleage, Theo. Melanie is a medievalist and Theo is a professor of English.

David made some pictures for Melanie. She gave him an angry bird stuffed animal, which he just adores.

David playing with Melanie's pets, Chance the dog and Bede the cate (named after the Old English church historian--remember, Melanie's a medievalist!).

Melanie letting David play Angry Birds on her smart phone.

Some of Arlene's relatives came by for a visit.

Manang Marie and David. It was Manang Marie's birthday the previous week so we got a cake.

Me before my commute to school. My vest gives me super powers.

The next time I post hopefully I will have pictures of Little Lumpy!
