in approximately 21 hours, our little family will be celebrating something we have never celebrated before. That's right. We have made it through our first semester of graduate school.
And on this solemn occasion, I would like to let you know all the things I plan on taking advantage of for approximately the next 3 months until the next semester starts:
1. Daddy daughter dates. Daddy's having double dates.
And some Mommy Daddy dates.
2. Working out at the gym with my husband. Hopefully.
3. LOTS more family activities including camping, hiking, long walks at the park, fun trips to
far off places like Maine. :)
4. Lions! ( A game Daddy and Aftyn like to play together)
5. Fee Fi Fo Fum ( A game Daddy plays with both girls)
6. Talking with my husband in the evening. Instead of finding people to talk to on the phone.
7. Anything husband related that I have sacrificed for the sake of school over the last 4
months.
I plan on savoring every blessed moment. And I know that the longer we are here and the more people we get to know, the more support and help I will find for myself when the next 2 semesters are coming at me.

| Aftyn has become quite the little colorer lately. She will sit for over an hour and just color in her coloring book. She's even learning about coloring in the lines! |

| Just trying for a funny picture of Bronwyn. She is so quirky. |

| Coloring wears her right out. She is always telling me, "Mommy, I'm coloring SO HARD!" :) |

For some reason I really loved this post alysa. Maybe it's because I hear the joy in your words, or the knowing that as you make it thru the hard stuff there will be a reward at the end...either way, I loved hearing about all the awesome things you have planned for the next 3 months. :) the camping and traveling sounds the most fun!
Like Jenn, I loved this post too! I know it's because I could hear the happiness, relief and excitement in your writing! You've made it this far and now can look forward to some time w/ Reed exploring your new home and area! Have so much fun together! And you've even got THREE birthdays coming up in your family to add to the fun! In a week or two, Mark finishes his semester also. He is taking a pretty intense summer class, so he only has 4 weeks off, but we're still excited! He is going to build a play/swing structure for the kids during his time off! Love and miss you guys!
