Here's a little update of our lives.
School is going well so far. Justin is loving his racquetball class. And he's surviving his military fitness class. He tells me it's a lot of running, stairs, push-ups, sit-ups, and I don't know what else, but it sounds like torture to me. And he has a bunch of other CIT classes that I kinda zone out when he tells me anything about them. This is what I feel like when Justin tells me about his CIT classes....
JK! I love you Justin!
For me, school is pretty easy going so far. I have one due date, December 11th. So I'm in charge of managing my time. My clinical this semester will be teaching an infant CPR class to my ward. I'm excited!
We went apple picking about a month ago and here are some pictures.
Let's go pick some apples!
Justin climbing the tree to get the best looking apples.
And here's Channing freaking out because he thought daddy left us for forever.
O don't worry, he's happy again once daddy was holding him!
The latest and greatest with Channing is that he turned 7 months old,
started crawling (although he still prefers to army-crawl most of the
time), still not sleeping through the night, still not eating solids very well, and still super cute
and happy! Unless it's nap time then he hates life. Channing loves to do this downward facing dog with a leg up yoga pose. Maybe it's
called the peeing dog? I don't know. Watch how he can balance on only one leg.
Happy Father's Day to Justin! I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for. Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it? Yes, I am lucky. Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn. Mmmmm. I love the new things Channing learns everyday. The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try. Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic. It was fun. But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day. Oh well. At least half the day was awesome! Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere. And sitting in it....
It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho. On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present. We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies. And we wrote letter's to Santa. We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ. For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger. Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger. Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in. It was a great visual for them. (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's. Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa. These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...
I'm really getting tired of school. I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school. Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks. It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework. I guess it's my way of procrastinating. Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing. Above is zucchini. Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche. Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind. There's always some assignment I should be working on. (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.) School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN. I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
