Well, I have been grossly negligent in my blogging duties as of late. I have all kinds of things I want to document here but due to my thesis, our sad camera and resulting pathetic pictures, and my perfectionism, I haven't done much. Here is an attempt to get a few things up. It is not remotely representative of the last few months but that's just too bad right now.
Matthew is walking and getting faster by the day! He eats more than I do and is catching up in size to Austin very quickly. He and Austin play a lot more these days and it is fun to watch them play in addition to push and shove. At least Matthew's getting big enough that he can almost hold his own. We don't have lots of pictures of him right now because he moves as fast as he can away from the camera or directly at the camera, depending on his whim. As this is the case (along with the slow response time of our camera), almost every photo attempt ends with a blurry picture that captures a few moments too late.
Austin is really funny as he begins to mimic us more and more and parrot what we say. He calls me "Waudrey" often as he hears Joseph and my parents call me that. He tries to be grown up and bosses Matthew around, but he also tries to help "show him the ropes" as well.
My thesis is nearing it's completion. I have to turn in my manuscript in three weeks and then am defending it a week later, on February 29th. I am sure you will all hear my shout of joy if I pass, no matter what part of the world you live in. I am thrilled to be graduating in April and am really enjoying the class that I teach this semester.

Here are the boys at the model train show they went to at Thanksgiving Point with Joseph during Lucy's bridal shower last Saturday. They had a pretty good time. I can't believe how quickly they are growing up!
Austin wanted to go swimming and it wasn't really a good time.
This is what we call the "double barrel" stance...

These pictures made me laugh - so cute! Especially the swimming tube combined with the "double barrel" look.
Good luck on your thesis! I imagine it will be nice to have that over with.
