Back to School

Man, even just blogging I can't keep up with it. Let me see if I can remember stuff

Grace's Angel day was very nice. My family all came over for the afternoon, we looked at pictures of Grace, talked about her, played with Camden and just hung out. Aunt Rachael was wonderful enough to organize Grace's cabinet for the 2nd time. We then went to dinner where some other extended family members joined us - and we of course had mashed potatoes. When we went to the cemetery the weather was perfect. I think it was the first day all summer it wasn't 100 degrees. There was a nice breeze and her balloons flew high. We all had cake and Camden smushed his into the ground - I like to think sharing with Grace. :)

Keven volunteered at the MDA telethon this week. Camden and I stopped by to see everyone but between sleep and runny nose we didn't stay long. It was good to see people again though.

I finished anatomy with an A. YEAH!! I decided not to take a class at ACC this fall. Starting a new job and Keven taking 2 classes...something had to give. I'm going to put nursing on hold for awhile. Teaching is great for a family and I still want to expand mine. I am hoping to volunteer at the children's hospital and see if that helps my desire to be a nurse. I wanted to do it more for the support aspect of it anyways, so we shall see. I am not at the point to say I will never do it but it's on hold and only time will tell.

Keven has started his next 2 classes. Well, he's only been to 1 so far b/c the other is a Monday night class so with Labor day...He ran in the Human Race last weekend - a 10K - and ran the whole way without stopping. I am very proud of him and impressed. Someday I'll get off my butt so I can get my butt off.
School has started. I am teaching elementary music part time. I work a week then have a week off. I like that schedule. I will be subbing on my weeks off to help supplement the income. Hopefully since my school is brand new it will continue to grow and my position will turn to a full time position.

Camden is still as wonderful as always. He's actually been under the weather the last week - either allergies or teeting or sinus...but just lots of congestion and hard time sleeping. He's been doing a really good job of staying in a good mood even though. He is 10 months old now and close to walking. He is cruising everywhere and can even stand for just a moment without holding onto anything. I think he'll be walking by his birthday. That'll be good b/c then I'll have to move more and faster to catch him. He lights up any time he sees Grace's picture and that just makes me so happy. Makes me sad too, but so happy. We are enjoying every day with him. I am hoping to get his picture page updated this weekend...I'll let you know when I do.
