OH THANK GOODNESS.
I confess, I was concerned that perhaps I had missed an entire calendar month, but no, in fact I have only been absent from the blogosphere for six, maybe seven weeks. Much more excusable. Though the self-indulgence of having a blog, and the contrapositive guilt at not updating that blog, is not a phenomenon I like to dwell on. Instead I just dwell on the guilt.
Gawrsh, where to start?
In non-pictorial news, Sam is doing well– 75th percentile in weight, 50th in length and head circumference. This is pleasing and somewhat startling, as The Gus has straggled along at the fifteenth percentile in all categories, and we thought we would simply raise small kids, who would have to rely on their cutting senses of humor and large vocabularies to get along. Imagine our surprise to find that kid #2 is a relative hulk.
To the pictures!

Well jeez, let’s just be spontaneous!
Here’s me and the boys, down home:
And the boys, getting along famously:
I can’t figure out whether Sam reminds me of Jon Stewart or Bill Maher in this picture. Either way, he looks like he’s saying something sarcastic and caustic about someone in the news. But in reality, he’s saying “wawrhruhwahr?!”
The Gus has much capacity for joy these days.
And here’s the current box-office star. Our lives have gotten so much better since he started smiling and laughing a couple of weeks ago - -we are no longer dealing with an utter blob, but instead with a tiny underdeveloped person who will someday appreciate the works of Warren Ellis. It is heartening.
