Counting down to Utah....

Hello my good family (as opposed to my bad one?)---

I'm loving the new posts from my brothers! Bravo to Chris for pictures, too. We are very soggy with humidity here...looking forward to some good Utah aridity next week. Nothing escapes the damp: cereal, book pages, pretzels, hair, wet towels staying wet, moods. You get the picture. We've been enjoying going to White Pond almost daily. It's a small, hidden, tree-ringed pond a couple of miles away with a sand beach, dock, and lifeguards...also where the kids do swim lessons. It's our little piece of bliss each summer day. Aah, small pleasures.

We had some good happenings this week. Greg was promoted at work, which was a well-deserved recognition for all he does there. I sent a resume to a non-profit in Cambridge last month and--there's a long story behind this that I'll spare you here--they've offered me a position and agreed to scale it to part time for now. I'm thrilled because I've admired their work in the Boston area and will be able to do what I'd hoped: bridge the gap between research and application. They provide parenting education and support...seminars, classes, consulatations. I'll be developing and managing curricula, etc. Should be challenging and rewarding.  Anyhoooo.

Greatly looking forward to seeing Dad, Mom, Nancy (& Dave?) in the coming weeks....Love to you all, A.
