Almost gone

It has been a hectic week. With no buyer lined up for the house, we have been arranging it as a furnished rental. With our connections to the university we hope that we can find a short term renter while the realtor finds a buyer in the next couple of months. There are still a few small things to be done - some paint, attaching trim etc. but it will have to just be left as is, less than perfect.
In good, but logistically difficult news, Katharine will be flying to Hartford a couple of days after we get home to interview for a tenure track position. Its a real honor just to be invited so we are very excited and proud. Will and she will fly up for two days.
A bout of sickness destroyed most of our plans for the week- James was fine Saturday night but woke up Sunday with a croupy cough and a fever which passed (just the cough) to Will. The ensuing four nights of sleeplessness meant that Katharine and I now both have colds- no cough thankfully- but we are all just sort of holding on to sanity at times.
Will post more before we leave- and we have to think of a new blog name soon....


Here are the boys in a rare tandem restful period-
