fast thinking

as always, things are really busy over here. but, we both got through our first set of midterms, so things should be a little cooler for a week or so. school is going well though. i really like my classes this semester and don't mind doing my homework, except that i get really tired sometimes. i'm pretty sure jeff is the same. we actually study a lot of the same material, so sometimes (lots of times) we get into discussions and debates that tend to be on the existential side. nietzche and marx are really fun. jeff's decided he's newton reincarnated. i think he's silly.

we also debate about babies. neither of us know anything, so it's lots of fun. mostly it's just what's silly to do with babies (jeff doesn't like baby headbands. i don't like baby girls looking like boys), what kind of silly things we'll do as parents, and all the things we'll do when we or our children are rich. then the babies in church start wailing in the ears of their exhausted parents, or we have an assignment that keeps us up really late, and we're glad we don't have kids. we can wait.

in the meantime, we agreed that this is a cute family photo. we hope to copy it one day.

  1. it's funny that this was posted on the birthday of our second child. and that i'm typing one handed because i am currently cradling afore-mentioned child in my left arm. kids are great and really add another dimension to your world, but they are a lot of work and tend to overrun everything else you try to do.

  3. I like the way the baby's head hides the mommy's poofy streched out tummy...I like to imagine that she has a poofy stretched out tummy anyway...and that the baby's head is hiding it...um...I'd better go run on the treadmill and think about not eating cake.
