One Thumb Up One Foot Down: PhD Update

PhD Update

This is a big week for our family. Charles has his viva (or PhD defense) scheduled for Friday of this week. This is where he and his work will be examined by two scholars. The outcome can vary but will determine how much more work or tweaking will need to take place before he can graduate with his doctorate. Please pray at 11 AM on Friday. We will keep you updated on the results.

One Thumb Up One Foot Down!

About the name

During these early years of parenting, I feel that I am constantly giving my sons and daughter encouragement to try something new and then immediately turning around and telling them to stop doing something else. This 'One Thumb Up, One Foot Down' approach of life isn't that far from how my own life feels at times - movements forward and backwards, highs and lows - and this blog is my attempt to share some of these moments with you. I invite you to join me on the ride as often as you can...

This blog is designed to be our family scrapbook. We don't want to bore you and make you flip through a book every time you visit us, but we do invite you to visit here any time you like.
