Skating (in more ways than one)

Another fun winter activity is skating.  Maggie gets to skate at school a little bit, so she is not too bad.  Me and BB need some help, though.



Maggie's friend Maia recently had her birthday party at the ice rink.  Maggie's not bad on the ice, either.  We'll have to practice just in case we end up in Montreal.

Business as usual

While I've been out of town interviewing, the girls have been sleeping with Gabby.



Gran FedExed us a Randazzo's king's cake for Mardi Gras.  Surprisingly, it lasted an entire week.  Here are the remnants.


Maggie found the baby in the first piece she ate.



We've been enjoying Dunkin Donuts more often than usual.  The icing sprinkle donut is always a hit.


On the return from one of my trips, Gabby and girls picked me up at the Chicago airport and we headed over to the Museum of Science and Industry.  It was pretty cool, but geared more towards older kids like Maggie.






Bea still managed to have some fun, though.






This time of year, the Urbana public library is bustling with activity.


Of course, Maggie is always bustling with activity.



We also made our winter trip to the Bloomington Children's Discovery Museum.



But, for the most part, it has just been business as usual.  And this is what I mean by usual:

A few more pictures from our holiday trip

Blogging has been slow of late, but I have been busy finishing up my interviews.  I currently hold offers from Alabama and McGill and I feel I have reasonable shot at several others.  At any rate, I will have a nice job next year somewhere in North America.

I'll be updating the blog over the next few days with some pictures and videos from Gabby's phone.  Here's a cute one of the girls taking a bath.

As I mentioned above, I'll try to update a little more often.  I'll also keep you all updated on the status of my job search.
