So you may be wondering what we've been doing besides taking pictures of Brooke's belly. We're still going to (and sometimes hosting) the wine tasting events. We've sort of dropped the name "WWWT", since it's no longer a regular Wednesday event. Up until last week when Brooke finally announced her pregnancy to the lab, we've had to discretely swap wine glasses so that I could drink for the two of us. Let's just say my liver has gotten a real workout....
Our most recent wine event featured Rieslings, with a 2007 Chateau Ste. Michelle (Columbia Valley) taking 1st place. (No, that's not Brooke who is passed out on the floor)
A large timesink on the weekends is Brooke's work and studies. For this quarter, as a requirement for her PhD program, she is TA-ing a subject outside her specialty. In fact, it's a subject she never even took as an undergraduate. She has needed to study at least 20 hours per week to become proficient enough to teach. Pictured below is Brooke catching up on her lab work during the weekends. I'm just there to keep her company. Check out the view from her lab in the first picture...
Brooke is still doing pilates once per week, but all of our other exercises have been placed on hold. To keep from rusting over due to inactivity, we've added a walk to our local farmer's market as part of our Sunday morning routine. A farmer's market trip always includes a stop for bagels and coffee...
BTW, it wasn't long after trying my brother's lens during Christmas that I had to buy one for myself. I got the 50mm f/1.8D (a cheaper equivalent to my brother's 50mm f/1.4D). But why stop with just one lens, right? I also got the 24mm f/2.8. Look at the 1.8 aperture of the 50mm lens. Isn't it big and beautiful?
