update

Obviously the rate of posting here has declined since our return from Ecuador. Life has returned to a somewhat normal routine and it seems kind of boring in compare with the past months in Ecuador.

So what have we been up to? Amalia returned to second grade and finished up last week. She reintegrated easily and finished at the top of her class in all subjects. Seems any worry we had of her falling behind we unfounded. Camilo returned to daycare and did great. He only problem is that he doesn't realize he weighs 50lbs and when he runs and jumps on someone he can knock them down. When his teachers she him in the morning they brace themselves for impact!

Lisa is doing well. She has two students finishing their PhDs in the near future so is helping them along.

I did the Boston Marathon again this year. It was quite an experience with a reported 1 million people lining the route and 36K runners. I met the same friends from last year and we had a great time. My run was going great, until it wasn't. Apparently you should actually do some long runs when you train for a marathon. Still, I beat last year's time. I was also super excited to see Meb win the men's race. Perfect guy to win such a big event.

I did spend a week in the Bahamas recently. I was there to help a colleague catch lizards. That update will have to wait though...
