I call those feet "Fred Flintstone feet". Square. Pudgy. Delicious.

The year has flown by! And see what you have accomplished in that time - you got a great job, survived months of being a SAHM, and have raised two cute little guys!

I remember when you were going through that, too. (And I did not envy you.) But just look at you now!

P.S. The part about dropping off your thesis at a fire station in Nebraska was really funny. Glad you didn't do it, right?

Oh my gosh they were so little! Wes was a baby and now he's a PERSON.

One of my TAs from last semester (who has 2 little kids my kids' ages) stopped by my office to ask me how I finished everything with my kids, and I so did not have an answer. I just remember constant stress and panic.

Glad you have your dream job and love life a year post- diss, Doc.

I love the picture of the boys! Fat baby feet are the best, are they not??

I read the post from last year and realized that I could have written a similar post when I was getting my dissertation ready -- especially the parts about random bursts of crying and foul language! Our husbands are saints!!
