  • This has been a pretty exciting few weeks for us. First, Leighton got accepted into Georgetown University Law School for the LLM program - which was quite flattering, Then, he got an interview at a great law firm here in town. He hasn't really been actively looking for a job, but he happened to know a guy that worked there who put in a good word for him... He sort of thought it was a long shot, but, then, he got the job! They are very picky about who they hire and have pretty much zero turnover (which is unheard-of in the law profession). But, seriously, Leighton probably showed up to the interview looking handsome and sharp in his suit, and then blew them away with his personality and intellect. So, really, I shouldn't be surprised. So, Georgetown, will stay as simply flattery for now, as we head off on our new adventure! 

    Brody and Allison finished out the school year. Allison did not make the lottery for the charter school down the street, so Brody and Allison will both be going to a new school next year. I am pretty bummed about that. I loved walking to school every morning. We have a lot of good memories at that school :(

    We are planning a very fun summer. We can't wait for a our long-awaited vacation to CA to see family. This might be the last vacation for a while since Leighton will be busy when he starts the new job.

    Here are the kids showing me how to dive:

    A tiny fraction of what the kids made this year. Benjamin has ripped down everything within his reach.
