the final turn

in the next couple of months, so major things are happening: sean's 2nd birthday, arrival of our 2nd son, and nat's prelim.

nat's approaching the final turn of his phd career. yay! he's feeling a little bit stressed with all the work he has to do between now and his prelim (finish a conference paper, work on prelim statement, work on prelim slides). after he finishes his prelim, he'll be in the homestretch! yippee! ;)
