Ummm...I'm done. Really?

I just sent my committee my final diss draft (pre-defense). Weird. It is actually incredibly anti-climactic b/c I am just sitting in my house quietly while Eli is sleeping (TG) with no one to shout/scream/dance around with. But ahhhhhhhhh! It's over. Mostly. Just the defense and then whatever they make me do to revise it. Please Lord, let that not be very much.


I guess my celebration will be Eli's new-found smileyness. Seriously, this kid is now crazy for the camera. I can actually make him stop crying (momentarily) if I take out the camera and aim it at him.
Of course, putting something on your head helps too.


Special thanks to these folks (and my incredible in-laws who take so many pictures of their own that, like a jerk, I don't bother to take my camera out when they're around!) who have made this all possible. Oh, Eli is excluded from the special thanks. He is special in a different way.
