The kids had a lot of summer vacation. I think it was pretty filled this year. We had a couple of project weeks, where we organized some activities and research for the kids each week at a time. These weeks were occasionally interrupted by holidays, trips to the beach with the grandparents, organized day camps, and play dates with friends.
In the beginning of August, I shuttered my consulting practice and took on a full-time position with ownCloud. I spent a week in Berlin at the yearly developer conference, and got to meet a lot of my remote co-workers. So far, the work has been constant, interesting, and rewarding.
