Weeks 40-41: Hi Mom! Hi Dad!

So LAST Sunday there was no photoblogging because my parents were in town! Yay!

See, they were on campus with me:





We did all kinds of fun things in DC and in Baltimore. One of the highlights was dinner at Fogo de Chão, where we went before our trip to the Smithsonian's Museum of the American Indian. The food was amazing!

The big news from this week is that my classmate Kevin (below, left) passed his candidacy exam, and my friend Kendall (whose research, instead of himself, is pictures, because the photo on his web page doesn't look like him any more) successfully defended his doctoral dissertation. Woohoo!
