Here are a few of the things have happened over these three months we've been away from Blog Land:
A. I actually turned in the first draft of the first of many chapters of my dissertation (and it wasn't thrown back at me!).
B. My brother Kevin got married to a lovely girl named Kristina. On Valentine's Day. In Florida. SWEET! It was cold, but gorgeous. We all boo-hooed our way through the ceremony (which Jeff performed) on the beach.

Bride and Groom :)
The (Other) Happy Couple
C. We had a visit from Perry and Jen (of the California Perry and Jens) and it was AWESOME in spite of the fact that it only lasted 36 hours. I spent a few days beforehand in Chicago with Jen, and we got this picture taken the night we visited Second City (a comedy school):
The conference she attended was at the Palmer House Hotel. A-maz-ing!
Jen and I also had a chance to visit the Art Institute, which happens to have several pieces by my favorite artist - Rodin:
Adam
Eve
Finally: D. Jack has morphed into a completely un-babyish little boy. He knows pretty much the whole alphabet and most of the numbers 1 through 10. He sings "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" and "Old MacDonald" like nobody's business. And he plays some mean drums. His asthma has been a thousand times better this year, but he's had a few ear infections. Overall, a MUCH better winter for us than his first!
See you soon!
