Recent Doings

We have been very busy having fun.  We try to do as much as possible on the weekends to keep the kids entertained and keep us from getting to stir crazy.  Plus Michigan summer is soooooo nice. 

We have been going to the children's garden adjacent to out work often. We took the kids there one weekend and then Oscar suggested we have dinner there one night during the week (picnic style) and then we biked there the next weekend.

 Edie keeping cool in all the ways possible.



We also try and go to the MAC often, we have to make our membership count! Oscar passed the swim test so he can ride the crazy slide even though he is not quite 4ft tall yet. He is very proud and so are we. Here is him exiting the slide in style.



 We received our patent award plaques the other day.  The are very shiny and official.  We both put them in our office ASAP...

I finally got all three of them up on their tower. Pocky likes to go nuts biting the dangling mice every night.  I think she is secretly still a kitten.

This is my office on the third floor. It is a nice blue with some fun patterns on the wall around the windows. I find it very cozy, especially with the fluorescent lights off.

 The department keeps harassing me to get the room painted beige like everyone else.  I have told them repeatedly I like it blue. The office lady in charge of such things had the audacity to tell me it hurts her eyes to look at and so I should change it but I don't see why I should care about that.  Also this is further encouragement to make it even more exciting...Maybe a mural?!!??  They even tried to sneak in here today with their painters "just to take a look" but I was working with the door shut so I gave them quite a surprise when they let themselves in and I was there to say  "no way jose!...I mean Debra" to their face. 



Here is my lab photos....its still being purged of the last persons chemicals and things. Its a massive job but it is getting there. It has a bright red wall (the whole floor does in the labs) and no one cares about that! 



And finally some local fauna:
