Two harsh weeks

Wow. Has it been two weeks, already? We haven’t been posting enough to this blog because of a horrible confluence of events. You ever see that movie, “the Perfect Storm”? In it, three small weather systems converge off the coast of New England and become a killer storm, capable of killing *both* George Clooney *and* Mark Wahlberg. Well, the last two weeks have been like that for us.

• Stephanie has been in the thick of final exams. I can’t really speak for her, but she’s been shut away in her study most nights, up until 3 or 4am and not feeling great about the exams she has had. On the upside, only one semester left!
• Ian has been slammed at work, with cool new programs due to the Big Clients (EA and Sprint – who together make up 70% of his company’s revenue!) … both due yesterday! He’s also been primarily responsible for Gabe, while Steph studies; so he’s been programming every free minute, which aren’t many…
• Gabe has been blissfully unaware of all the work his rentals are up to. But he has been waking up every night at between 2 to 4am. Sometimes not going back to bed! This has been a special treat for Mom and Dad!

In any case. Ian is now out of the woods (more or less) and Steph will be done (more or less) on Friday. We’ve got pics of Gabe’s trip to see Sesame Street Live; so don’t give up on us just because we’ve been quiet!
