Oh, its the final count down....yea


Here we are. Three more weeks left and the craziness began.
We are already boxing stuff and getting ready for the move to California.
We have moved so many times, one would think it is in our pinky by now.
Well, it is, we just never had to move with a baby!
Naddie is spending her weekends with her teacher and friend Summer from day care so that we can get ready for the movers by the 22nd.

We also have a great big news. Here is part of the email that was sent out to the Boston College sociology department.

"I am thrilled to announce that one of our PhD candidates, William Wood had just won the ASA 2007 Edward Shils-James Coleman award for the best student paper in theory. This is a very competitive award, with honorable mentions going to students at Yale, Northwestern and UPenn. The announcement is below. This award is given to a paper which makes a "profound contribution."


This also means that he has to attend a conference in New York in the first week of August so we will all be there to cheer for him when he accepts the award. (I wonder if they will take it a way from him if we cheer...?)
We are very proud of him!!! He is not only getting this award that week, but finishing up a chapter in his life I know he is ready to get done with.
He will be defending his dissertation in Boston and finally get his PhD.
From that on we can all just call him Dr. Wood.

We were also discussing the cab question in New York and realized that we have no idea how to take a cab with a baby? Do you have to have a car seat? Can they just sit on your lap? How does it work?
Is there anyone out there who has the answer to this question?
Just let us know!!
