Just thought we would update you all as to what was going on with us.

First of all Derek went to Fort Collins to do his PhD Qualifier. He was gone for a week and got to see some friends and was able to get enough studying done to pass. This means that step one of 3 is complete for him to get his PhD. We were very excited and proud of him for getting this step done.

I did ok while he was gone the puppy was a little hyper but we managed to keep her busy enough.

We were able to start Heidi on solid food with some rice cereal. She seemed to like it and ate most of it. Though some of it did end up on her bib, the booster seat, her hands and tray. We got a video and some pics so we hope you enjoy.

Hope everything is going well for you all! There are also new pictures up in the gallery.

Love,

Derek, Nichole and Heidi
