We are on the last stretch of the quarter. I'm way busier this quarter than last but luckily it's the other way around for Chris. His core class is with a professor who loves to talk about back in the days when he tutored Anthropology to Prince Charles. My core professor is a Marxist. I have learned everything possible about longshoreman and am now convinced that it's the bestest job in the whole world. At least that's what I have to pretend when I'm in class. Chris and I are both doing an independent/dependent study with an Anthropologist who specializes in Brazil. It's been fascinating and It's the first time I've ever had a a crush on a classmate (chris and I are the only ones taking the class, if that wasn't clear). I like having a class with Christian he's not as competitive as I was imagining, maybe because he also has to deal with me at home. In all seriousness it's a great class (excessive reading at times) and we speak Portuguese which is also a plus. However, my favorite class this quarter is a workshop that I am taking with Nikki Silva my favorite radio producer, if you've seen my blog she's one of the Kitchen Sisters. I have only recently been more myslef in class and not totally nervous that this lady that I admire so much is my teacher. It helps that she's very down to earth. I am producing a short piece about the frustrations of putting kids to sleep. I was inspired by Mariko's post 1,2,3 Abracadabra Baby Sleeps. I had a really fun and funny interview with Kaity and Danny and also one with Gio. When I finish I'll upload it so you can all hear and enjoy a bit of the DeMartini's voices.
Life of course if busy and even though we make it seem like it's all fun we also have our frustrating moments my broken foot being the main cause of much frustration at this point in time.
Chris spend a lot of time this week looking and planning the Yosemite reunion. We are very excited to see everyone and hopefully we can make it work so that most of you can come. We're too late for reservations but there are a bunch of first come first serve spots. We are planning for the week of June 16th. Can you make it?
The other news is that I applied for citizenship. It cost us $700, ouch! A birthday presents of sorts.
Here's a picture of Enzo so you can see what we mean when we say he's pure joy and also a little on the heavy side.

The target and perspective sort of emphasize his belly. He looks pretty normal to me. But this is coming from the mom of chunky1 and chunky2. But my how they've changed. Have you seen pictures of Miriam lately? Her face is as thin as Angelina Jolie's, I swear. It's so bizarre in such a young kid. I had chubby cheeks until halfway through my freshman year in college, though.
oh right. They're still on the full side. my cheeks that is.
Turns out Shelley's ankle is broken too and she's also getting a cast. She didn't think it was broken what with the swap meet adrenaline masking the pain. Lucky for us she kept doing yard work, etc. Thanks Shelley!
I'm excited about the citizenship. My last electric bill was $425. (Just my part of the house.) I've got to figure out the drain. I'd much rather spend that money next month on your citizenship.
