BYE NU.
My time at Northwestern University drew to a close on July 11. What a run! I started at Northwestern in May 2011, making it the longest-term employer of my lifetime. I’ll miss the crew at the Academic Advising Center, who were obviously a blast to work with, but also one of the only groups to willingly accept Chica into their lives. I am very excited to start spending more time with little Mr. Theo. These past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind. I am exhausted. But, we couldn’t have made it through without our amazing helping hands will to take one or two of the BLT. THANK YOU.
What’s next? That’s the question I get to sit with until I figure it out.
Gran’sDay.
To celebrate my Mom’s birthday, we did lots of fun stuff without her so she could relax and then had cake with her later! Lucy got to take in turtle class, Brooklyn had tee ball, and Theo just happily tagged along like he does! Happy birthday, Mom!

Self-evident truths, 2018 edition:
- floating rafts are a failsafe hit with kids–the bigger the better;
- swimming in the middle of an overcrowded lake is ok so long as you’re doing it with a small army;
- there’s no limit to how strange yard games can be and still be addicting;
- kids love slugs(?);
- two- to four-year-old kids should never nap on holidays–it’s the American way!
