"Spiderman." That's the answer to just about any question in Noah's world these days. "What's your name?" "Spiderman." "How old are you?" "I'm spiderman." Here he is protecting his sister from dangerous photographers. Notice the web technique. Very important. Tomorrow night he will have to take these techniques on the road as we go trick or treating in the warm Florida evening. Being spiderman has been important to him as we make our transition from New England to New Spain. Maxim has done even better. She takes life as an adventure and worries really only where her parents are next. She is sounding out words and beginning to read. Her favorite thing to do it to have me hold her hands when she jumps in the air and lift her farther. "Jump me, Daddy." She says, meaning, lift me up in the air. She has made new friends in school and one in particular through our parents' collective at Eckerd. Still, she misses her friends from Massachusetts. They both often mention Maynard and we all think about the north a lot.
