Well, it was time
for a facelift for the blog. By which I mean, Chinese trademark and patent law
is not all that interesting so I played around with formatting instead of
taking notes. Which should go well in two weeks (!!!) on the final
exam.
For
reasons related to my still-largely-unwritten thesis, this entry will be short
on words. Luckily we had an idyllic, beautiful long spring weekend with Grandma
Jayne and Grandpa Tony, so it'll be long on photos. Over the next couple weeks,
as I spend beautiful spring days in the depths of the windowless law library,
I'll have Seth make the kids do lots of cute things and take pictures so we
have something other than outlines and footnotes to offer.
We were so lucky to have Jayne and
Tony here for an early birthday celebration for Ford, as they had been with us
for Finley's first too. And just like Finley's, we did a low key celebration at
home, and it was perfect. Ford loved his cupcakes-and-steak meal and his
presents, which Finley kindly shared with him.
And his new bounce house,
which was a huge hit and a killer purchase.
The kids got up at an ungodly hour
on Easter and tore through their baskets,
celebrated
with the neighbors,
and went to a "fancy"
Easter brunch at the West Point Club. At which Ford ate his body weight in
french toast and Finley acted like a real heathen and smeared chocolate all
over her new Easter dress.
Which produced keepsake Easter photos
like this one.
We also went to the Army football
spring game, and the kids had a terrific time stuffing their faces and
terrorizing the bleachers.
The weather has been stupendous, so
Finley and Ford and Grandma and Grandpa got in lots of playground time.
Not to mention cookies/ cleaning
sprinkles off the carpet time. And driving.
I even managed a quick date with
this handsome guy, thanks to grandparents. (We went to Starbucks and to pick up
dry cleaning. It was pretty romantic.)
Now we're buckling down, and counting down until summer vacation. Finley tells me she's going to "a castle" before bed every night. France had better deliver. But first, finals...
Hard to pick favorites, but these
are two of mine from the long weekend. Laughing with Grandma & Grandpa.
And the big birthday boy. I'm not
scheduling my "Ford's a year old" freakout until Friday, but doesn't
he look grown up (and, yes, handsome)??
