This post is disjointed by design.

Just completed my first round of midterms, thankfully with success. I've certainly found that grad school rubs me a lot better than undergrad work ever did. Maybe it's that I'm working on stuff that's interesting to me. Maybe it's having a couple years more maturity and work experience behind me. Oh, wait - I think it's really so much easier because I actually care what the outcome is. Imagine that.

Speaking of that, it sure is great to have little boys. We'd love to have a little girl someday, but for now a little roughousing is pretty fun. Matt's started smiling more often now. I'm not sure if there's a good example in the below video, but I noticed that he sometimes does this little smile to the side that really reminds me of this.



Finally, (while we're on the subject) here's a little tour of our house with all the boxes gone at last.
