April Update

So it's been a while since we put up a blog post--we've just been so busy reveling in Katie's being a newly minted PA that we haven't had time to do anything else (riiiight). Dan's been playing a bunch of gigs lately, starting with his Easter services and then a run of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Sorcerer," a lesser-known operetta, and a gig up in Connecticut. He's also preparing for the last push of academic work: final exams coming up very soon (mid-May)! Katie has been busy getting herself a couple of job interviews in the upcoming weeks: you'll hear/read more about this later.

Although we haven't blogged much, we've continued the torrid pace at which we post pictures and short videos to flickr. Go there! View and enjoy!

Evi is getting so much more mobile and energetic in her explorations of her environment. Sometimes she hurts herself a little bit. :-( (Like today she was holding a highlighter pen and slammed her fist into the table, thereby pinching her knuckles between the highlighter and the table--hilarity ensued. No wait....by hilarity, I mean intense bursts of screaming.) We are really enjoying watching her develop from an immobile, relatively non-interactive eat/poop/sleep machine into a delightfully curious and affable little human. What a joy! She's almost ready to start crawling. She gets up on all fours, but isn't quite coordinated enough to move about this way. Also, all the new foods she is trying are keeping her (and us!) entertained. I'm not entirely sure how this works, but, somehow, babies covered in partially chewed food are both disgusting and adorable.
