7 Quick Takes (vol. 27) and a Theme Thursday... all on Saturday



--- 1 ---
Surprise, I'm late!  But in my defense this week has been ridiculous.  I feel like I use that excuse explanation a lot, but seriously.  It was.

Hey, look at that--Grace did a reverse order link up this week!  Lucky me :)

Speaking of defenses, Alex is DONE with his thesis.


Written. Submitted. Defended. DONE.

--- 3 ---
He only has one week left of class, a presentation, and one exam standing between him and his MA.  I am so incredibly proud of him!!!  And so incredibly ready for him to be done.  I don't know who is more excited for graduation--him or me.

I'm pretty sure correct grammar would be "he or I," but that sounds silly.

--- 5 ---
Speaking of silly (and grammar, for that matter), M's current obsession is Veggie Tales.  Ergo, I have rediscovered Silly Songs, and I think I'm enjoying them at least as much as he is.  Maybe more.  Especially this one.


And I love it even more because we did School House Rock Live! my senior year of high school (and I got a part without having to sing a solo... probably because I was a senior and president of the Drama Club, but whatever) and this is way better.


--- 6 ---
I completely missed Theme Thursday this week, despite it being the easiest theme ever for the Corner--boys.  Seriously Ashley, how did you let that one slip past you?

Reference Take #1.

But anyway here are my boys playing, so I can go ahead and link up anyway despite being a super-duper late cheater mccheaty pants.  (I'm still loving fine-tuning my depth of field for close-ups.  I promise I'll do something different someday.  Maybe.)

Thomas! Our favorite!

Flutterbye!  Our favorite!

I had a revelation today: Michael already speaks Spanish!  Allow me to elucidate:

Ehmo = Michael's version of Liam = derivative of William = Guillermo in Spanish = Llermo for short = Ehmo

Didja follow?  Pretty impressive, isn't he?  But I'm still going to pick up those Little Pim DVDs from the library (I actually requested them... just need to get myself to the library before my hold expires).


Go see Grace for more quick takes, and continue to pray for Jen and baby Joseph (they're home!)!  
Happy Friday Saturday :)

  1. Ashley!!! So glad to see you yesterday!

    Alex did such a great job at Viva Voce. Congratulations!! I will pray that his last presentation and exam go great. After defending his thesis so well, this should be a piece of cake :)

    See you at graduation!!!
    Tamara :)
