Life

This is our life.  The nitty-gritty, day-to-day story of what we’re doing and our adventures as a family.  Sometimes detailed, often mostly a photo journal, filled with lots of pictures of cute little people and occasional longer reflections on Hinds family happenings.

    Mim and Papa stopped in for a quick visit with Nora Wednesday (in that night and out the next morning). I think they had a great time with her and we really enjoyed seeing them! Both Nora and Pip really took to Papa, and we were all sad that they couldn’t stay longer. Here’s a…

    Interesting news:  I’m not working at Marist anymore.. I was offered a job by Bard College about three weeks ago, and after working out the details, I accepted and gave my notice at Marist.  The position is the Director of Recruiting for the MAT program. I’m really excited about the position – it’s going to…

    Well, my dad left Friday and we had a great (busy!) visit.  He helped me out with quite a few house things I’d never gotten around to doing, like pianting, getting a second garage door opener, and putting our towel bars on right.  We also went to eat a Chris’ resturant and visited the Walkway…

    Nora is one month old today! Grandpa Rik, my dad, came for a visit yesterday and we’re having a great time – and keeping very busy!  Today, we ran all kinds of errands, including getting the Toyota washed, going to the grocery store, and to Home Depot for painting supplies (dad offered to help me…

    First the baby news:  Last night, Nora slept from 12:30 am until 7:30 am.  Holy cow, it was great!  (And as a result, I’ve been doing laundry and I even swept the kitchen floor – yay for feeling well rested!) So, yesterday was Chris’ first official day of work at Painter’s Tavern.  Remember them?  He…

    We’ve had Nora home for a week now and have been having a great time with her. She is very easy going (with the exception of the first time Chris and I tried to bathe her – it was too cold) and has been letting us sleep 4-5 hours at a time at night. She…

    Well, we had an interesting doctors appointment today. Chris picked me up from work at 1:00 and we headed, first, to Northern Dutchess for a sonogram and a peek at baby. Baby scored 8/8 on the biophysical profile and looks great. We could even see him or her practicing breathing the amniotic fluid in and…

    Still hanging in there and hanging out. I worked all week this week. It was slowing down a bit since the semester starts Monday, but still relatively busy (I had to finalize my goals for 2009-2010). It wasn’t bad, though, that baby decided to give me this week, because it let me do that and…
