Flutterby Little Butterfly

Our butterfly "hatched" today! What's the real word for that? emerged? Anyways, I missed it coming out, but I got quite a few pictures while it hung around waiting for it's wings to unfurl and dry out :-)

And in the bestest news of all......Josh passed his pre-lims today!! He is officially a PhD candidate now and is on track to graduate in May or August of 2009. He had his orals today and he said (and acted like) it was absolutely NO FUN. But he passed!!! :-) :-) :-)
