Whew.

Grades are filed. One final paper is in, the other is still pending, thanks to a last-minute extension from my professor. Winter quarter is now officially over.

Spring break is never long enough, especially when compared to our long, luxurious six-week winter break. Only one week? That's crazy.

Fortunately, this year Jeff and I (and Charlotte) are staying put. Last year Jeff went to Arizona (where it was unseasonably cold--bah!) and I flew solo to Iowa to visit my family. Well, not quite solo...Miss C came along, too.

That was such an uncomfortable flight, in part because I think Charlotte picked midair over Iowa to flip from head-up to head-down. It felt...weird.

This year we can just sit back and relax and wait for the visitors to come to us. Which they are--my folks will be here Wednesday.

In Charlotte news (because I know why you people are here, and it's not for me!): she has a top front tooth busting through, and it's been wreaking all sorts of havoc on her sleep. I also caught her grinding her bottom teeth against the new interloper. Let's hope the partner tooth emerges at the same time to lessen the sleep disturbances.

Watch for a video soon. Until then, you'll have to be content with the picture above, one of the "rejects" from a photo shoot I did a couple weeks ago. (Prints coming soon, grandparents!) Note the arm-rolls.
