Eric's Cool Picture

This photo appeared in the UND Discovery magazine with an article discussing Eric's work on black holes & the law (for the article, click here). It was taken by a photographer on campus who spent HOURS working to get this picture. First, she did studio shots. Then she took us to the server room on campus because she liked the idea of having bright lights and wires behind him. I was drafted into service at the shoot to hold some sort of lighting fixture. My arms have never burned so much.

But the end result was awesome - it's such a fun photo of Eric.

Accepting at OU

I officially accepted the job at OU on 12/12/12. We'll be moving to Oklahoma City in July.

Joe is giving Zane "reindeer ears" above, in celebration of Christmas.

Jumping at the Library

Imagine our surprise when we found a jumper inside of the library! The boys weren't able to enjoy it for long (we arrived at the end of a special event) but they had a blast. I'll have to keep this in mind for the future.

Being Goofy at the Airport

A little later that day, we took Eric to the airport for his trip to Silicon Valley. Zane put on a puppet show for us using his t-shirt and his hands.

Lunar Eclipse

We were able to watch the December 10 total lunar eclipse right outside of Zane's window.

Christmas Photo Shoot

Getting to the final Christmas card product isn't always easy when you've got a couple of goofy little boys.

Worst Class Photo Ever

Perhaps I shouldn't use the above title. After all, I suppose it could get worse. I do look at 13-year-olds wandering the streets with their long, greasy hair and shudder. Of course, my position is that if you're living under my roof, you shower daily. But I digress. My handsome boy just doesn't look his best here.

O'Hare

There's nothing bad about a layover in O'Hare when you've got your own airplane to fly.

Goodbye Dallas!

Before we knew it, it was time to return the rental car and head back to North Dakota. Thanks, again, Duffys for having us out to Texas. We look forward to seeing you more often when we move to Oklahoma this summer!
