Nic has been working diligently for the past two semesters on his Publishable Paper and presentation- it was an alternative to a Thesis Project. We are hoping that his paper will be published in a Journal...we'll keep you posted. Elise loved to sit with Daddy and "help" him put his presentation together.



Here Nic is with his Committee on the day of his Defense. He had a full room of Professors, students and family members. We were all very excited to be there, except Nic. He was glad to get it over with! He did a great job, though! We are proud of his success.



For the past year, Nic has become friends with Mohamed. He is a graduate student from Libya. We have enjoyed getting to know him and learn about his culture. He will graduate in May and hopefully be able to get a job so that he can stay in the states.



Nic worked all Thanksgiving break on his presentation. This is one of the rare instances where he was just lounging around. Of course he wanted to "kick it" with his favorite little girl...ELISE!

We are so excited for Nic to be done with Graduate School. He has worked very hard these past two years. He has earned excellent grades to show it. We are in the process of getting a job...a task that has proven a bit more difficult than expected. Yet, the Lord is mindful of us and we will have a job in no time!

May the Lord bless each of you. We hope you have a wonderful Holiday Season.
