One more week

So, Hawksbill is at school today for his last day of Thursday classes. Next Thursday is final paper/final exam day, but this is the last week of classes. I don't remember the last day we all hung out together--maybe Thanksgiving???

Hawksbill gave me an early birthday present of a digital camera!! Yay!! No more running to have pictures developed and then having to scan them all in!! Woo hoo!! Also, no more spending a ton of money of developing a bunch of pictures that didn't turn out quite right...of course, now I am worried that I won't have anything developed but I guess I can keep online photo albums, right?

Simon and Gwen are enjoying this 1/2 inch of snow we got this week. I, for one, am NOT enjoying the cold this week. Maybe it will snow some more and warm up a little.

Just one more week...I can make it, right? I am so over this semester. Then next semester is it for Hawksbill...I still can't believe it. I think I posted before that I told a friend when HE completed Grad School, Simon would be three and I couldn't imagine Simon being three...but I told Hawksbill Simon would be 6 and Gwen would be 3 when he finished Grad School...and it will be happening in about 4.5 months...wow...time flies...I don't know ...I am glad time is passing quickly so Hawksbill will be finished with school, but I miss Simon and Gwen being babies and tiny...they seem so big now...ah, well. Enough babbling for me...I just can't wait until I can see Hawksbill again when he ISN'T working on a paper or studying for an exam :)

Hey, Baby!

Since I don't actually ever see you anymore I thought the least I could do was to leave a comment. :)

I'm glad you like the camera. It's about time we decided that digital cameras weren't just a passing fad. I was holding out for implantable neural-photography, but I guess that'll be a few more years.

I also feel nostalgic about the babies being teenier and tinier... but I'm really looking forward to Gwen being out of diapers. I can't believe she was only 3 months old when we started this whole thing. I miss them both being so small that they'd fit in the crook of my arm.

But, I really love how they surprise us with crazy things we didn't know they were learning, or when Simon says things that seem freakishly mature.

The other day he said to me: "Daddy, I happened to notice that you are playing Final Fantasy XII. Can I join you?"

Too funny.

Ok... I have to go back to writing this last paper now. I'll be home as soon as I can!

Oh, and in case I haven't said it recently... thanks for putting up with me going back to school and forcing us to live meagerly for a while. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

You're the best, Doll Face!

Hey, Barb--

If you get a good printer, you can print those digital photos out on glossy photo-paper and album-ize them just the same! You can still have your photo-albums, plus save the developing money & not be responsible for the mercury that the photo developing process pollutes the earth with! :)

What a great picture! OK -- I had to post to you because Doug bouht Cadbury Dairy Milk advent calenders this year. Under each door is a code -- that you do with the decoder on the back of the calendar to figure out the word of the day. I thought that would be right up Simon's alley!
