monthly update

Posted in baby, Job, things we've done on April 16, 2012| Leave a Comment »

hey – welcome to your monthly woznation update.  that seems to be how often we’re posting, huh?  That might be the new norm. Things are busy, but good, over here.  I started my new job, and am still learning to balance work things and life things.  Phil was in Yuma for awhile but is back for a good long stretch. Wil is doing better at daycare and seems to like his new playmates.  I think Barney is the only one really living it up.  He now has the house to himself for 3 full days, with our dog walker coming to get him out on nice long runs when Im at work.  Life is good for that pup.  Here are a few pics from before I started work:

Hi Ho Hi Ho

Things are a little nuts around woznation.  After a slew of phone interviews and a few all-day interviews, I found a great research statistician job at Hopkins.  Once I accepted, they gave me a whopping 3 weeks to find daycare and start the position!  So Ive been busting my ass to tie up all the loose ends before starting work this coming week.   Good thing I handle stress and change so well. Oh wait, I don’t.  But a steady diet of back rubs and beta-blockers are getting me through.

Found Daycare.  Finished CITI training (yeah you researchers know what Im talking about. Ugh). Found dog walker.  Bought appropriate clothing.  Cleaned house.  And Phil is away on a bachelor party vacation – so Ive been on Wilek duty 24/7.   As you can tell, ‘blogging’ isnt very high on the priority list.  I have barely remembered to take any pictures.   So for today – I am posting all the pictures I pulled off Phil’s phone last week.  Hopefully we can get some more videos up soon, too.  Wil is a lightening fast crawler and pulling himself up to standing.  He also feeds himself cheerios, hates things on his head, and loves the duck pond.  And hes 21 lbs!

Big Boy Pants by Phil

If anyone saw the nursery pictures Amy posted a few weeks ago you may be unhappy to learn that it will not be properly utilized. This is because our move date for Baltimore has (finally) been set for the end of July. This seems like a good date since we probably wont be busy with anything else at that time. The move date has been set because I just accepted a new position within the Department of Defense / US Army hierarchy. My new (ridiculous) full title is Chief Engineer to Counter Radio Controlled Improvised Explosive Devices Electronic Warfare (CREW). Or, more simply put – Chief Engineer, PM CREW. This is a pretty serious promotion which comes with something of a raise and also requires me to leave my contracting company and work directly for the DOD/Army. Don’t worry Char and Nancy, I am still a civilian, they can’t actually send me to war. Overall, we are very happy with this and I just hope I don’t fuck anything up too badly. As ‘proof’ of my promotion I offer the nameplate to my new office (yes akers I said office… with two windows).

Probably dont know what I am getting myself into
