Here is a picture of us 6 months ago. Mary Tessa's hair is shorter and so is Simon's and mine. Luna has a smidge more hair and 4 teeth.
Mark defends his PhD on August 6th and is writing 97 hours a day up until then.
Send him some stamina and good wishes and prayers.
We are moving to ****MADISON, WISCONSIN*** a few weeks later!!!!!
We are very excited. It's bittersweet. We have many dear friends here but will not miss the job.
Madison looks a lot like Boise where I grew up. It has the benefits of a capital city (university, museums, zoo, capital building) but is still small and outdoorsy. We will live two blocks from 2 of the four lakes there and three from the zoo. I look forward to telling rascally children--more literally--to "go live with the chimpanzees!" Mark can walk or snowshoe to his building. Four seasons . . . and cheese . . . . . and quiet, proud fellow Scandinavians here we come!
