For Jim: his Dissertation Defense went very smoothly on Tuesday. Completed and "signed off" by his dissertation advisory committee. He will make some minor revisions to his concluding chapter and then will be 100% complete and ready to print out on his fancy linen paper. YES!! He will graduate this May from IU with his Ed.D. in Higher Education and Student Affairs.

For Jul/Mommy: we are now the proud owners of a double jogging stroller! (thanks in part to a kind gift from a wonderful uncle of ours) We live one block from the trail; half mile from the park and from the Freys'; half mile from the mall; one mile from East Campus; one mile from the YMCA (hopefully can get a membership soon...); and just under two miles from Dad & Mom's. To have the ability to get out of the house for fresh air and to exercise is, you guessed it, so freeing.

For Timo: "I can sit in the Bumbo all by myself and slobber on my blankies and toys to my heart's delight! All while watching my older sister dance around the living room, of course. I just love to do that."
For Gemma: no more diapers!! "I'm so glad I wear underwear now!" (that quote is verbatim) We are currently on Day 3 of the Underwear Celebration. Thankfully we all are still feeling the energy and momentum to keep going. (though we haven't actually left the house yet...except for a quick walk around the block...) More on this later.
