And yet I'm still busy...sorry.
We have a little video and some pictures from a weekend trip to Syracuse. I'll get to those, once I finish my last paper and last final EVER for Yale.
Come Tuesday at about 11am, I'll be free from homework and grades for a glorious four months.
Unfortunately, Justin will be in Tanzania for three of those months. He'll be doing his dissertation research (hooray!) but without Juma and me. As Juma would say, Poopie.

goings-on
I'm taking a little time off my school duties to let you know what's been going on at the Beckham house.
Juma finally lost his first two teeth. Unfortunately, they had to be pulled out by the dentist because one of his big teeth was coming in behind. Fortunately, the tooth fairy pays extra for that.
Juma finished up his first season of basketball; the best part was the trophy. Of course.
He touched the ball during games. Twice!
Next sport: baseball. Justin is assistant coach, and Juma has three friends on the team.
We drove down to Baltimore last week to check out the city and Johns Hopkins University. On Friday Justin and Juma had a great time exploring the town while I was visiting with professors and other prospective students. On Saturday we all went to a children's science museum, where we extracted some wheat germ DNA (Seriously! They have an experiment set up for small kids to do this), lay on a bed of nails, took mini-lie detector tests (Juma's a terrible liar, but Justin and I...), and tried on a space suit. On Sunday I let JHU know I'd be coming next fall.
Connecticut's weather has showed us it's spring: volatile and usually wet. But at least the flowers are peeking through.
