February

In February, Cam's cousin Marin came to visit us! Marin and Casey both went to school out here at OSU, and they were the ones to welcome us to Columbus when we moved here. They have now moved back to Cali (much to their happiness), so Marin is finishing her dissertation in BioAnthropology long distance. But she needed to come out and meet some professors, so we got to see her and her cute baby girl, Elliot!

Here we are meeting in Marin's professor's office, enjoying some Jimmy John's sandwiches (Elliot too--she likes the paper)


Here is Elliot looking cute on the couch

Splashing in the bath tub (notice how turbulent the water is!)

And chillin' with me on campus as while Mommy met with some professors

A few days after Marin and Elliot went home, Cam defended his Master's Thesis in Latin American History! I am so proud of him! This is the end product of all the research he did in Peru two summers ago. His thesis used a native rebellion in Peru to show how the Bourbon monarchs of Spain began effecting political reforms earlier than has been previously acknowledged. Here is Cam after the exhausting interview (interrogation?) with three professors:

Post-defense snuggles :)

Congratulations, honey!
