Done with the LSAT...or am I?

FINALLY DONE! After spending from 7:30am to 2:30pm in Santa Cruz taking the LSAT I am done with it.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
Well, actually the deal is that I will find out my score in 3-4 weeks and depending on what I get I will either live with it OR retake it in December. But for now, I am done with it. The worst part of the test this time was the fact that we took it in a auditorium-type classroom. So the desk that you have to use is smaller than a typical 8.5x11" piece of paper. What a pain. But it is over and done with so I can breathe easy for a while. Well, at least I can until the exam that I haven't been preparing for happens. When is that again?...oh yeah, Monday. Great.
Kathryn is doing wonderful. She didn't become sick at all the whole 1st trimester so I think she is in the clear. We find out if it will be a boy a girl on Oct 15th so we are really excited about that. Kathryn's older sister Lindsay is having a girl. I am sure she will help balance out their family of 2 boys. So, it will be 3 vs. 2 in the boy vs. girl games. I will be happy with whatever happens, as long as it has all its fingers and toes, etc. Oh and my dashing good looks if it's a boy, Kathryn's looks if it's a girl. (I mean who can resist a cute little redheaded girl?!)

That's all for now. You may wonder where the pictures are, but they are with my studying time for school. Dead from the LSAT.

Tahoe and Kathryn's Birthday

Bringing out the cake.


Well, it has been a few weeks since our last posting, so, to catch everyone up I thought I would FINALLY write something. First off, school started again. Yipee. With budget cuts to the Cal State University system of close to $600 million, things are a bit different. Luckily I was able to get into the classes that I needed. The first weekend after school started was the Lowe family annual vacation to lake Tahoe. Unfortunately for me I was only able to stay from friday thru monday night. I had to return for my tuesday classes. However, we were able to celebrate Kathryn's birthday and even had a cake.

The last day that I was at Tahoe we went to Emerald bay and I was persuasive enough to get people to swim out to the island. If you know what a swimming "noodle" is then you will be able to picture this better, but, 2 of the girls didn't feel confident enough to swim it by themselves so they floated out on noodles. It made the swim much slower and colder. It was fun though. I wish I had some pictures of everyone after the swim was done. Can you say blue?
Things are going well and Kathryn hasn't been sick and since she is now past the first 12 weeks we hope that she DOESN'T get sick either. Oh, I forgot, since this blog is called the Skeehan Zoo, I should tell you about the latest incident with the critters. Pinkerton had to have a growth removed that developed from a necrotizing (sp?) wound. I hate vet bills. But, he is fine, he just had a bit of a tummy tuck. And last but not least here is a picture of Kathryn catching up on emails.

If you have seen this photo too bad, I didn't feel like finding another one. I hope everyone is doing well.
