Since our return from St. Paul, it feels like we have been busy. Julia has been emersed in classes, meeting with her advisor, and meeting up with fellow Ph.D. students. One outing was on a bike ride to a beach. Another was a get-together at a park behind Peter Neff's house. Julia is finding and creating her own little community. One young woman is actually from DC, graduated from Holton in 2008, and was a coxswain for crew. Small world. A highlight for us was celebrating mom's 79th birthday with the family--in person and via Zoom. Lisa made a delicious leg of lamb dinner with tons of delicious vegetable options. We had some catch-up time with Dana and Aaron, hearing the latest on the kiddos and how they have adjusted to being empty nesters. I made a lasagna dinner for a colleague; it has been YEARS since I made a traditional lasagna. This was an all-day, stressful event, but I'm glad I did it. Many thanks to Benjamin for getting Julia a new oral surgery date, September 29! We're glad he will be there to help and comfort.
