The Big Wide World

We are out of here...in T-minus an hour. I feel...overwhelmed, excited, tired, and stressed. I stayed up until 1 last night finishing my final exam. Then I overslept my alarm and barely got Landon to school on time. The rest of the day has been spent frantically packing for our 5 day camping trip...which, I have never really packed for before. I mean, i have packed suitcase items, but never food and bedding and all of that. I feel overwhelmed. But I am excited. This place is a piece of my childhood. I have SO SO SO many memories here and I cant wait to smell the smells and walk the trails and share these things with my children. Yeah!

The other day I asked Landon a question and he said, "I think we should sit down and "fink" about it, Mom!" Such the intellectual! He also is infatuated with pipes lately. He opens up the sink cupboard with the water on so he can hear the water going down and "watch" it. He hooks up his slinky to random things, and even made a pee pipe. I won't go into detail for the sake of his future embarassment, but he surely had me laughing pretty hard. His tonsils are still huge. Please pray...I really dont want to have to have a tonsillectomy done. They don't hurt him at all...they are just big and red.

Noah is scooting, working on sitting up and eating a regular "dinner" every night. So far I have given him mashed up bananas, rice cereal. sweet potatoes, peas, and avacodo (supposedly the perfect first baby food!). Everything seems to go down well and he loves it...well, not so much the peas, but the rest he has done great with  He is constantly blowing raspberries. It is the cutest thing...everywhere we go...all of the time, Noah is spitting.

My sister just asked me if I still talk to Marla bc she never sees any of my comments on her page. So clearly someone has noticed that I haven't been around as much lately. Just to reasuure you all...I enjoy your friendships and have done my best to keep up on your blogs and to update mine at least once a week. Grad school was wayyyy harder with the two kids and it definitely affected my time on here. I feel as though I am constantly rushing through everything lately...and certainly through xanga. I am happy if I can read your blogs, let alone leave a meaningful comment .I just finished my class last night and wont start another for a whole week . Seriously...bare with me, I appreciate you all and cherish your friendships

Well, I have way more to do than time to do it in. Have a great rest of the week and I will talk to you all later!
