Christmas

Cat, do you remember when you and Di and Andrew used to pretend it was Christmas morning and unwrap gifts that you had wrapped up in towels? I laughed so hard when I found out that you guys did that. I guess it is no worse than me and Liz saving the sheet of bubble wrap to pop when we got up on Christmas morning. Pretty silly.

By the way, are we drawing names for gifts? Karen and I were just planning on getting presents for everybody. But we can draw names if you like.

Dream

Last night i dreamt that it was christmas time and all of us were home...everyone was there including Andrew and James' and Karen's baby. It was snowing outside and the house was all warm and nice, we were having so much fun. It was a great dream and it made me miss all of you so much! I hope all is well, I love you!!

yeah.....

So, I stumbled upon this tonight- uhhhh that's all I can say about this

Calling All Catherines

Catherine where are you? I have tried to call you for two days now. Are you ok?

Dear Catherine

I fixed your picture.

More videos

Where is everyone?  Probably busy, eh?  Well, here are some more videos of Ezra yet again.  He has now graduated from dancing to his phone toy to dancing with his favorite show's intro (although, I don't think he really likes the show, just the theme song!)  He has also discovered the fun of the luv sac now that we have it back....thanks to Kathy and Ann!

I know its backwards but I am excited

hey there babies

so I thought i would post a couple of pictures of me and Tim in yellowstone... we had a really good time, it was absolutely beautiful there and i feel like i can appreciate it much more now that i am not little ;)

Party

Hi again,

Here is a video of Ezra's party with all of his guests...it was after his bedtime so he was kinda grumpy :)

Videos

Hi All,

I hope that all of the siblings are doing well. Where are you all???? Here are some Ezra videos that I have failed to post. Lately he has loved this phone of his that plays music and he likes to rock out to it. Today he took a ton of steps and we got a few on tape!! I was going to put some video of his b-day party, but I can't get them to work. I'll have to get to them later. Love you all- tell me how you're doing!

A Walk and a Warthog

Hello Siblings,

Things are coming along here in Tucson. We are getting used to our new digs and kind of getting used to the heat. We have been going on walks around sixish when it is a little bit cooler and to tie Ezra through his pre-bedtime grumpiness. Today as we were walking in our little neighborhood we came upon a javelina- basically a warthog. It was BIG and I was afraid it would run after us and attack Ezra, but it didn't. I couldn't help but think about that scene from Rescuers Down Under- isn't it a warthog in that one? Anyway, there is my exciting story for today. Love you all.

What I'm Reading

In the spirit of Karen I have posted what I am reading. What about you?

Ella Enchanted

So I just finished "Ella Enchanted". I liked it a lot. You just wanted to kill Hattie. It was sooooo much better than the movie (no surprise). Now Diana says I should read Ulysses :o)

Movie and Podcast

Hi all! James and I watched a great movie last night called "The Dish" It's all about the satellite dish in Australia that helped broadcast pictures when man first landed on the moon. Also, I recently discovered the podcast "Radio Lab". It's pretty entertaining. It talks about science and stuff. I really like it. So you'll have to check it out!

Grades

So grades were supposed to be posted yesterday at six. I am such a worrier that I couldn't sleep the night before etc. and I waited with breathless anticipation until six o'clock, turned on my computer, went to the site, clicked on the link and....

DISCOVERED THAT ONLY TWO OF THE GRADES WERE POSTED AND THREE OF THEM WERE STILL MISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was not pleased.

Plus the grades that I did see were two measly B's so I was not happy with that either.

Long story short I got the rest of my grades today and happily they are better than the ones I got last night.

I ended up with a cumulative GPA of 3.48 which should be good enough to put me in the top third of my class and on the dean's list. (I won't know for certain until Friday)

Anyway that is the story of how I almost had an aneurysm because of the registrar's office.

Ezra is standing!

Hello all,

This week I have started packing, and Ezra has started standing!  I haven't made a huge dent in the packing thing, but I am glad I have at least started. Here is a video of Ezra standing up with us today.  Love you all.

Hot Hot Heat!

Hey everybody. Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. We have had Karen's family out here visiting this past week. It was really nice to see them, but it decided to get crazy hot just in time for them to come out and see us. It was like ninety six degrees and crazy humid. Not cool, in more ways than one (wink). (typing puns is not as fun as saying puns). Karen's family went home today, and she took tomorrow off as well, so she gets an extra day off tomorrow. The professor I am working for is going out of town starting next week so I won't have to meet with him for a while which will be nice (it is kind of stressful to meet with him) Other than that we are just working hard to stay cool.

Haircut

Last week Ezra had his first official haircut.  We have had to trim his little tuft in the back a few times before, but this time we got his whole head of hair.  Here is the first part of his haircut and a picture of the final product!

Random

But funny.
