One more week...

Mercifully, Jeremy will be done with the first year of his PhD just one week from tomorrow. It's been quite a semester, filled with Hurculean effort on Jeremy's part, but once again it looks like he'll pull through with flying colors. The man is a machine, truly.

Despite a hectic and stressful April, we've worked hard to find time to spend together, even if it just meant meeting at the park for lunch on a rare pleasant afternoon. And thank goodness for Sundays! Even though we often reach Sunday night with mild feelings of dread at the coming week, we also reach the evening feeling content with so many hours spent as a family. Here's to another April gone!

Clara's latest: twiddling her fingers. What a great time!


Daddy and Clara after one of our picnics at Thorndon Park (you can tell it's a beautiful place when the leaves are out!).
