Random Thoughts


We have been super, super busy at this house this past week. I'm enrolled in six classes (17 credits) for my teaching degree, and the homework is outrageous. Tyler jokes that he hopes our marriage will survive during the next two years...but it truly is a sacrifice on everyone's part. I appreciate them all so much. They really are very supportive.

I start my practicum on Monday. I am very, very fortunate because it is at my children's school. I get to do Spencer's class for three weeks. I love his teacher, Mrs. Schoenfeld and look forward to observing and learning from her. I am so LUCKY. I also get to observe another teacher that I admire GREATLY, Mrs. Gorum, for another three weeks. And although I am worried about managing it all (especially the homework) I am very excited.

Spencer and at least six of his classmates have strep throat. When I took him to the pediatrician (Dr. Kwak, the funniest doctor on earth) he told us that he predicts this winter to be a very bad sick season. He hasn't seen a dip in sicknesses all year long. So this means that everyone needs to get a flu shot. The flu shots this years cover the flu, the swine flu and the new version of the swine flu, which is supposed to be horrible. So there you go, you have all been fore-warned.

Tyler and Brayden are up in Wyoming this weekend for some 'man vs. coyote' time. The kids and I went to Whiterocks Canyon for an afternoon picnic with my mom and sisters. The leaves are starting to turn and everything is gorgeous. Chelsey is home from Logan for a wedding and it was so fun to see her. We really miss having her close by. But my favorite thing has been holding baby Eliza. I had forgotten the sweet smell of a baby.....mmmm.
