Busy Fall- Shana Tova

Jeremy has started his new school, Lincoln, in the Montessori program and seems to be doing well, although he's decided that he doesn't want to discuss school with his Mama.  Most days, he goes to school as Superman, or more recently, Spiderman, even though he doesn't actually know much about either beyond what he's picked up from other children.  For example, in Jeremy's world, Superman shoots fire and Spiderman flies.

Jeremy has also graduated to a 'big boy bed', which by his request is a 'jungle' theme.   This means that Mama gets to pull out all kinds of stuff I collected in Kenya over the years I spent there.  Click below to get a little tour:

Meanwhile, I have ended my directorship at DBG after 7 happy and productive years and am focusing my attention on my family, the house, and research projects. Fran has been working away at Copart projects (as well as others), but after the CMO left last week, we are waiting to hear what her future with them will be. Life is good, either way.

So, with lots of transitions going on, we are holding tight and enjoying our blessings. Shana tova and hag sameach to all these days of awe.
