The Desert Museum

Today we went to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum with the Citrons; it was Debabu and Zufan’s first time among the desert flora and fauna. The weather was great, the museum was lively, and our son was defiant so we skipped some of the attractions (but we had fun in the cave). Still, it was a good day any day with family and friends is. We’ll get to it all next time.
The Kerbie

Since Wally and Otis got their own entries, so Kerbie, our alpha-corgi, is certainly entitled to his, appearing in succession sleepy, stately, and solicitous.
The Otis

Otis, our lab-shep mutt, deserves his own post, too, and at his best looking quizzical
The Wally

Our cat, Wally, doing what he does best.
Open-house

We wanted to have over friends and family who supported us throughout the adoption to meet the kids and to see loved-ones we hadn’t seen in a very long time. Last Sunday we had an open-house that lasted into the afternoon; even though Zufan still had some energy to smile as we put her in her crib for a nap, Debabu was out as soon as the last guest left.
The Great Gary Gygax!

One of my students recently asked what my favorite sport is. “Dungeons and Dragons”, I told him, and everyone giggled. I was thinking of the passing of E. Gary Gygax, one of the creators of that game that I learned to play when I was twelve and around which formed one of a core group of associates during my adolescence: John, Russell, Chris, Jimmy, and Eric.
Zufan’s First Birthday

March 7 was our baby’s first birthday! Rebecca made a cake, and hoped that Zufan might have some messy fun. She wasn’t into it though; most of what she took from her plate she wound up dropping from her hands to Kerbie and Otis.
Nicole and Her Cousins

My youngest niece Nicole stopped by for a visit, and needed proof for her friends that she did indeed have new cousins from Ethiopia.
