This weekend was a Halloween-filled blur. Saturday night Aric and I went to a party at a ranch near Leavenworth and yesterday the Biology Department held our second annual Pizza and Pumpkin Party. The biology faculty and their families, along with some outstanding students, very skillfully carved pumpkins (for which awards such as "Most Creative" and "Most Biological" were given) and closed the evening by eating free pizza, homemade cookies, and too much candy. It was so much fun! I'm posting a picture from last year's party, and an awesome picture of my brother, Jeremy, as a vampire. Apparently his weekend was Halloween-filled as well.
