Congratulations Abby Palko, ABD


Major Congrats go out to my cousin Abby Palko, ABD. Abby is a graduate student in comparitive literature (i think) at the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, IN. She is also the mother of a beautiful 6 mo. old baby girl. This week Abby passed her oral defense of her dissertation proposal. So, she has passed her classes and written her proposal, giving her the official designation of "All But Dissertation" (ABD). Let's have a big round of applause for her - it is not exactly easy to do in the first place, let alone when there is an adoreable!
This picture is from Nora's Christening this summer. Mommy and Aunt Jen did a great job of matching but Nora doesn't seem as interested in the camera as they do.
