Family Poll

I've started a new poll, so that all of the family can vote for whether they think it will be a boy or a girl. The poll is scheduled to end the day of my appointment when I will find out! So get your votes in while you can, and no cheating...........

Baby Lola!

Well, Twinkie, here is a picture of baby Lola! I'm glad you and I are both on the same page, routing for a girl......I still have about 6 weeks before I find out what I'm having. But yeah, I'm 14 weeks along! Hooray!!

Our Dad, the Geeky Paleontologist

Well, guys.....having a totally geeky dad is starting to totally pay off! Congratulations Dad on graduating from a lowly Assistant Professor to an all-worshipped Associate Professor!!!!! That is so exciting! Now you can be as mean to your students as you want and they can't do a thing about it........its every Professors dream. I figured dad would not want to brag about the fascinating resesarch he is doing, so I will do it for him.....

As you all know, he has been involved in some pretty exciting research recently. There is an article on the discovery channel website that outlines his recent publication on flesh and bone eating insects that feed on dinosaur bones! I find it to be quite fascinating. And although we kids used to complain incessently about having to spend our family trips out in the hot desert quarries of Utah digging up dinosaur bones, instead of a normal family vacation to Disneyland, I must say, we are all very proud of our geeky dad! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

P.S. Dad, I attempted to pick a photo of a Camptosaurus from the internet....but I know how displeased you will be if it is not anatomically correct, so if the dinosaur is depicted all wrong, let me know and I will find another...........!
