Isabel was excited about my suitcase of bones. Here she is in the kitchen checking the hip bone out, which I'm working on learning. The iliac crest, iliac spine, pubic symphysis, pubic tubercle and the plane of the pelvic inlet are just a few things I need to know about this particular bone. Meanwhile the garden is growing. we expect to have our first summer squash in a few days, and maybe a cucumber soon after.

Good-bye Albany (for now) and hello Syracuse. As the house emptied out the kids got creative with the last of the things that were around. Here's Calvin exploring Newtonian Physics with a roll of tape and some matt boards.

We are settling in here in Syracuse. Calvin cried the first day of Camp, but not the second --to my great relief. They have had peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches for lunch for three days because we can't think of any non-meat lunches that they like. We are open to any suggestions from the larger world if anyone has them. They like climbing on the play house we won in the end of year show raffle. Dave amused them to no end blowing bubbles out the window. I am getting to know my younger colleges in medical school--a very earnest bunch. I don't think I've ever seen so many people eating healthy snacks(carrot sticks and RAW greenbeans for Christsakes!) in my life. Bring on the Doritos!
