Prospectus

Right now Isaac is defending his prospectus.

  It's a big deal. 

Not as big a deal as when he'll defend his dissertation, but this is some of his dissertation, so it's a big deal. 

It's been a little busy and stressful the last little while.  

So, I'm blogging as I wait to hear how it went.

Love this picture

Only in Oregon can you run in a race called the Hippie Chick.  I signed up in the earlier stages of pregnancy, but as it got closer was worried I wouldn't be as ready as I wanted to be.  I was slow, but it was so fun and I absolutely loved it.  I got to run with a bunch of wonderful friends.

 Mother's Day

Kason said to Isaac: "Make sure you don't go to school today, because if you do Mommy will start working and cleaning and I can't stop her".

We have had some seriously nice weather here lately and I. love. it.  The evening after a hot day is my favorite time.  You can still smell the heat and feel it, but it's also cooling off.  Here Kason is wearing Isaac's shoes and shirt and wearing a mask he cut out and taped to himself (and his hair) with masking tape...yeah he loved getting that off.

A favorite place to sit with toys piled high in front of her.

And now Asher is sick.  He came in from playing and just zonked out.  

And that's been our week!
