Oh yeah, We have a Blog!


We're back in Jena after a nice, long trip back home! We had a great time with family, though we would have had a nicer time had we not had to worry about job-market stuff. There's something terribly inhumane about situating the annual make-it-or-break-it job interview conference precisely between Christmas and New Years. We were fortunate enough to have interviews, but not enough to guarantee a job for next year. So now we wait and see!

David is hilarious these days. He is talking so much, and cracking us up regularly. In fact, he started waking up earlier than usual this week, so I bring brought him back into bed with us to steal an extra 15 minutes or so--all the snuggling that David has time for. When he's ready for us to get up, he leans over to me and gives me butterfly kisses. It is the sweetest thing ever. Then he gets out of bed, walks around to where Michael is, and clocks him--hard!--in the head to wake him up. We're working on this, but honestly it's pretty funny!

He also thinks he's quite the dancer. Check out this video of David singing and dancing:




We had a wonderful afternoon with friends today. After the little ones napped, Thomas, Anja and Emmanuel came over for coffee and cake. Then we basically played for a few hours, and chatted.

By way of reminder, here is a photo from David and Emmanuel's first playdate:



And for a video of them today (well, now it's yesterday), check the next post! It turns out it took all night--honest to goodness, all night--for the first video to process. So tune in later for the second one, or check facebook where I posted it last night!
