Turtle

This is the water turtle that we found on the side of the road the other day. Laura and Alli both got a kick out of keeping it in our bathtub for the night. (It was subsequently released at the Auburn Arboretum pond)

Laura at Lab

Laura has gone to a couple of Invertebrate Zoology labs with me. She loves looking for things under the microscope. After we left lab the second time she said she wanted a microscope...a pink one, with glitter. So as you can see, she's not just like me :-)

Yellow Belt

Laura received her yellow belt in karate last Wednesday. In order to get this, she had to attend 16 classes in a two month period and undergo a series of test, including punching/kicking combinations, one-steps (defense moves), verbal questions, and breaking a board. We are very proud.
