Situation Normal: August 2010
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Well, as you might have guessed, we have left Normal, Illinois and moved on to Ottawa, Ontario. Consequently, I have ended the Situation Normal. Blog I admit that my Situation Normal. Posts have been getting few and far between. (Yes, Facebook ate my blog, too.). I have started a new Fish Ottawater. Blog on a trial basis. If anyone other than my mother (hi Mom! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Situation Normal: October 2009
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Monday, October 12, 2009. Monday, October 5, 2009. Joseph got to play "the man" in his class play. For some unknown reason, he chose to play his part with a British accent. Lung worms: the 5 part series. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Lung worms: the 5 part series. I am a biologist with kids. That pretty much takes up 95% of my time. The remaining bit is devoted to whatever project captures my interest. View my complete profile. Who's in Charge Here?

Situation Normal: Chanukah and Cleveland
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2010/01/chanukah-and-cleveland.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. This year Chanukah was so early that it came and went before winter break. And what can be more fun than children lighting things on fire! This year we started our trip in Cleveland. We had a great time at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. We enjoyed many taxidermied animals and miniature dioramas, which are pretty much the same as when I was a kid. We met Michelle and Rich for dinner at Lopez. Who's in Charge Here?

Situation Normal: February 2010
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Less Normal, more Canada. After much consideration, I accepted a 2-year postdoc at the University of Ottawa, ON. Danny and I broached the subject with the kids by festooning their dinner with little flags. The kids knew that we were likely moving somewhere next year, and they were fairly mellow about the whole thing. I asked them for a rating of their feelings about moving to Canada, and this is what I got:.

Situation Normal: Halloween, halloween and more halloween
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween-halloween-and-more-halloween.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Sunday, November 1, 2009. Halloween, halloween and more halloween. This was the cheapest Halloween ever, luckily for us. Sam wanted to be a scarecrow (from Batman, not the Wizard of Oz), and Joseph was Count Olaf. The kids had a great time Trick or Treating in our neighborhood. They got about 10 lbs of candy from all the nice senior citizens. Joseph displaying Count Olaf's most distinguishing feature: the eye tattoo on his ankle. Who's in Charge Here?

Situation Normal: Christmas and Staten Island
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2010/01/christmas-and-staten-island.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Christmas and Staten Island. After leaving Cleveland, we headed for New York. After the massive snowstorm, road conditions were not too bad, although there were giant snowdrifts everywhere. The kids had a great time playing in the snow. We all made a massive snowman at the park. All of us except Sam, who erected a series of shrunken snowman heads on posts. Much chaos and presents! Mike and Karen resting after presents.

The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. After leaving New York, we visited Baltimore. Here are a few of the many pictures that we look in Charm city. An unscheduled group picture of the ladies. Sam on the couch reading Far Side comics with Aron and Ron. Rich with Alexa- so far so good. Joseph, Sam and Grandpa Saul. Grandma Martha, Sam and Joseph.

Situation Normal: July 2009
http://situation-normal.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
The closest to Normal (Illinois) that I've ever been. Monday, July 27, 2009. For Sam's birthday, we went with Sam's TaeKwonDo class to the City Museum in St. Louis. It just gets more and more awesome! They finished the roof area, which includes a giant dragon slide, a ferris wheel, a giant mantis and an incredible view. Believe it or not, no one fell in! Sam and Katana, one one of the rare occasions that they were standing still. I brought the cake to Sam's TaeKwonDo class, where the kids gobbled it up.
