February Update


We are staying really busy these days. Christopher's job always keeps him hopping - he's finally getting a little bit of reprieve after the excitement of the snow and lots of extra hours of shoveling and plowing at his sites.

I successfully defended my MPH project proposal last week, and am in the process of finishing the IRB application. The IRB (Institutional Research Board) at UMD is tasked with making sure that research of any kind done by anyone affiliated with UMD is done ethically and responsibly.
They take their responsibility very seriously (as they should) - and that means that the application process is pretty intense. My project deals mostly with data analysis and mapping, so I shouldn't have any trouble getting approval from the IRB. That is what I am hoping anyway.

Yesterday Jackson had a bit of a stomach ache. He consoled himself by laying on our bed, which had been stripped so that I could wash the sheets. Enjoy this pic of our big baby.
