That's a big list - and for some reason made me sad for you? You'll still be able to spend time with Henry and help him walk and all that good stuff even while going to school. I worked on my master's degree when Quinn was younger - and while working - and didn't miss his childhood at all. I dunno, I just hope you don't feel like you're to miss everything. It's amazing, you're going to find time you didn't know you had - you'll also figure out what's important to spend your time on and what's not - that's what happened to me during those years - the house didn't get fixed up much, the scrapbooks lagged behind, etc...

Sad? Yeah, I feel a little sad even as I'm sure it'll be okay once we get settled. Thanks for the kind words. You're the first person I've known who has gone to grad school with kids.
