Tests and the ballet

Anyone who knows me knows my math skills are limited to about this:






But Christopher is a different story and this week he got to show off his math brain during two grueling days of PhD qualifying exams to test his knowledge of reactor physics and design, radiation waste management and every higher mathematical equation known to man. With that much information, they couldn't just run out a scantron to tell him he'd passed, so we'll be waiting a while to know for sure that he's passed this hurdle, but the girls and I are glad to have him around again.

In other news this week, Friday night Chris and I snuck out to the ballet to watch Whodunit, a Clue type ballet where a detective tried to figure out if the Professor or the Heiress or the Maid or the Femme Fatal or the Gardener stole the Prima ballerina's tutu. Our home teacher and his wife came over and did homework at our house while the girls miraculously slept. I enjoyed just being out with Chris, but the ballet was engaging as well--I never realized that ballets could be funny. Chris said it would have been better if there had been talking.
