Fish and Flowers

Last week I ordered a print from a good friend of mine who is an artist in Washington and I just had to share it with all of you. It's beautiful! The colors, the precision...everything!



Her art is a mix of everything odd and beautiful and if you are interested she has a blog with a link to her online shop. The address is http://eggmanstudios.blogspot.com/ so check it it out!

-15

Finally! Lansing reached 30 degrees today! What a difference from our -15 degree nights and 0 degree days. It feels like a heat wave.



The three of us are doing well despite a few runny noses and some coughs. School has started again with a bang. I'm taking biocultural evolution, advanced osteology and law and forensics. I thought this semester was going to be easier because I didn't all those bone quizzes every week but boy was I wrong. I'm currently reading the equivalent to several books a week and writing, writing, writing. Phew...this is only the second week of class and I'm already exhausted. I also have been working on several different ideas for my thesis, most of which are based on determining ancestry in either Northwest Native American or Native Michigan skeletal remains. Ancestry is kind of a hot topic in forensic anthropology these days because of all of the controversy that surrounds it. We'll see.

Have a great weekend!

Done!

Lately I have been trying to get Connor to express to me in some way when he is finished eating and ready to get down from his highchair. So everyday for the last few weeks I've been asking him, "All done?" On Saturday morning after breakfast he finally said Done!!!...very loudly which was his first official word besides mama and dada.

Connor is also crawling like a mad man and races with us down the hallway in our apartment. He has made several attempts to stand without holding on to something and is getting closer every time. My boy is growing up so fast!
