We are actually in the US for a two week vacation right now. Nehir is thrilled to be reunited with Derya, Grandma, Grandpa and his cousins. He had an excellent report card and is rapidly learning to read in English, having pretty much mastered reading in Turkish. No big news with Taylan; he's cute, really, really, really cute. He gets jealous of Nehir and when Nehir is the focus of attention he will do almost anything to get the attention back to him. It is not too hard to keep them both happy and sufficiently attended to, it is mostly just funny to see Taylan's antics.
My big news is that I got a new job! I will be an assistant professor at the College of Staten Island starting in the fall. I am very pleased. They are starting a new masters program in counseling psychology so I will be able to teach counseling skills courses, which I really enjoy.
Selcuk has his interview for the WT Grant next week. I am sure he will do well, he is a charming guy.
Well, now that my computer is fixed I am hoping I will be a better blogger. Our camera is broken but we are getting a new one and so pictures will be coming shortly.
