July 2006 Update

It's been a while since last we updated our site, and a lot has happened since then.

1. Mathilde Lucy Marie Cowan was born Thursday, April 27th, weighing in at 7lbs 12 oz, 21 inches tall. 2 months later and Tilly is now 12lbs, 24 inches. (A big girl!) She's already smiling (we'll have to get some pictures of that) and cooing.

2. I got hired at Assumption College in Worcester to teach 2 ethics classes in the fall. I'm very excited, especially since Dad will be there too this next year.

3. Our '96 Nissan Sentra died, but we just replaced it with a 2002 Deep Blue Dodge Grand Caravan. I guess that makes us a bona fide, certified modern-day family. It's no Mighty, Mighty Mini-Van (I.e., the 1989 1987 Chevy Astro that I grew up with and took to grad school. Mom informs me that it was older and mightier than I gave it credit for), but she's a fine vessel in her own right.

Hello All,
As Will said, sorry for our blogging silence--but we have been thinking of you. Tilly is wonderful; she is happy, easy-going, and already crazy about her brother. And, while there is some controversy, I think that her hair is going to be a lovely strawberry blond. Xavier is doing well too, adjusting to the interloper "with aplomb." He is still crazy about anything musical and is even drawing pretty well these days--or at least we think so. And now if he can just manage potty training, the world will be just about perfect. School is out for the summer and we are looking forward to a few days on the beach at Cape Cod and a bbq or two on the porch here in Somerville. And yes, Will is indeed teaching at TMC's Summer Program again this summer. Anyway, Tilly calls and I'm off. Lots of love.
