Drew needs all the help in Physics he can get.

Elixir of the Gods

So persuasion won the poll and I have started reading it. I also just checked out the 6 hour long Pride and Prejudice from the library and Drew and I have been watching it over these past few days. Mr. Colins gives me the creeps. But I love everything else. Who doesn't?

Andros Island Bahama Trip

In April, I got to take a Geology class wearing board shorts and flip-flops for the first period and snorkel gear and flippers for the second. We made a trip first to Ft. Lauderdale and Key Largo, Florida, and from there we flew to Andros Island of the Bahamas. It was a class on carbonate systems. We learned about the shallow sea environments where the limestones around us are "born". Tracy was nice enough to let me go with a pact that I'd take her back some day.
A look at the ancient: Brain Coral on Key Largo.

The flat bottom boats that took us where no... ahem... few geologists had gone before.

Perfect ripples.


Has anyone seen the Silver Surfer?

Darcy Rolls Over

This video is mostly for family far away...it's long but pretty cute so even if you're not family...she's still fun to watch.

She's All Smiles...most of the time.

I'm not in school right now so when Darcy is asleep I have a lot of time on my hands. These clips are from her first month. In the first clip she was a few hours old and didn't even have a name yet. She's so adorable!
