Graduation 2008

After 7 years of periodic hard work I earned my Bachelor of Science in the field of Bioinformatics.







Technically, I don't graduate until August for insurance reasons, but I walked anyways as an all but diploma candidate.

The Growing Babes: We are excited for the progress that Gavin and Gabe have made in the NICU. Gavin now weighs 5 lbs 6 oz. and Gabriel is 6 lbs 11 oz. Although they have some very high end babysitters, we look forward to having them come home (hopefully within the next three weeks).

Together again.

For friends at first, are friends again at last.

Birthday!!!

On Wednesday, April 2nd, Janis and I are celebrating the birthday of our boys! The party will begin at 7:30 a.m. in the operating room of Mt. Timpanogos Hospital. It's a costume party, so you have to wear scrubs to be admitted.

On a more serious note, we are desperate for name suggestions. Please post any ideas in the comments.

Summer Fun

We will be in Bethesda, Maryland this summer from approximately May 15 to August 15. I’ll be in a summer internship program working in a bioinformatics facility in the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, a division of the National Institute of Health. Our boys should be a little over a month old when we leave, and by the time we come back they should be able to take Maxwell in a fight. For more information go here.

MARCH MADNESS!!!

Ya'll are invited to join our Yahoo NCAA bracket pool. The winners will receive a prize that has yet to be determined. (Maybe we'll name one of the twins after you) For group name and password please send Janis or I an email. Good Luck!
