Nine Months & All Other Things Belated

With less than 24 hours until Will's 10 month birthday, I figured it was about time to post his 9 month news. And, why not catch up on everyone's busy lives while I'm at it?

Will is full of new tricks. Nine months marked official mobility and he is fast! He army crawls all over the place and is into everything he can reach. He waves, points, kisses, and we're working on clapping and blowing a kiss. He's still 100% enamored with Ian, who is just the best big brother.

Ian finished 4th grade with great success. He made the honor roll all four quarters and did exceptionally well on his end-of-grade testing. Now that school's out, he is attending a few science camps at UNC and enjoying his new bike, learning some new songs on the guitar, and hanging out with friends.

Brian and I are both doing well and keeping busy at work. Brian recently made a trip to California to show off his new iPhone application at the Oracle developer's conference. I finished off the third year of my PhD program and am now collecting data for my dissertation. I'm also back at NORC doing public health policy work four days a week from home.

Our house is still on the market in NC and we're very eager to move up to the Boston area once it sells. The summer down here is already balmy with most days over 90 degrees. Send any good real estate vibes our way if you can spare them!

We're all excited to head up to Northern VA to see Uncle Tim and Aunt Abby for the first time in a long time, and to spend time with Uncle Scott, Aunt Shannon, Isabella and Owen.
