Jeremy, Kristen, Ethan, and Adalyn: Prairie Dogs and Motorboats

I'm finally done with anatomy! Now I get to focus on our "Biology of Cells and Tissues" class, which is a mix of biochemistry, cell biology, molecular biology, and histology. Sounds like fun! We have a test on Friday

We had a great visit from Kristen's parents this past week.

They got here late Saturday night/early Sunday morning so they met us at church. They were very excited to see Ethan and I'm sure he was excited to see them!

On Monday, we (apparently) really needed lots more Ethan clothes so Kristen and her mom bought out all of the Kohl's stock for boys aged 0-12. Well maybe not quite that much but they definitely found lots of stuff! We also went to Prairie Dog Town at the local park, which is a "prairie dog preserve" just in case the prairie dog decides to go extinct. I know you will all make the trek to Lubbock to see the prairie dogs now that I've got some pictures of them up on the blog!

Ethan was enthralled by the prairie dogs (sitting on grandpa's lap!)

After all the excitement of the day, we were too worn out to cook dinner so we headed to Red Lobster!

Tuesday, we went to the Lubbock Lake Landmark. It's a dried up lake. The more interesting part is the surrounding area where Native Americans used to hunt for food. They have found lots of stuff through various archeological digs. There is a museum set up with some of the artifacts and explanations of the lifestyle from 10,000-12,000 years ago. Afterwards, we ordered dinner from Domino's pizza from the store right next door to our apartment.

On Wednesday, I had class for most of the day but Kristen, Ethan, Mark, and Jan met me on campus during my lunch break for the tour of the Health Sciences Center. After their own lunch, they headed over the Texas Tech Museum where I met up with them later on. The most interesting part of the museum was some intricately carved ivory tusks they had on display. We had some steaks for dinner back at our apartment.

Kristen's parents left on Thursday for a quick stop in Denver before heading home.

Ethan has been doing well. We think he might be teething so he's drooling lots and sucking on anything he can get his hands on, including his own hands.
