I guess I should write something

January 30, 2008

We’ve been a little busy with things lately.

Tom and I are both taking online classes this semester while sharing one computer. Tom is braving two accounting classes and statistics for this quarter. He is much braver than I am. I’m busy with just Shakespeare and Creative Writing. I’m only taking two classes this semester because of financial aid issues we had, but I should still be able to graduate by the end of 2008. Finally. I never imagined I would spend 8 years getting a 4 year degree.

Oh. Well.

I’ve also been baking a lot. Yesterday, I thought it would be fun to try and make apple pie from scratch. It’s something I’ve never made so I was a bit worried.

Apple Pie

It turned out very yummy. It was rather simple, but I’m still proud of myself.

This morning Rylee painted the first part of a picture. She said she wasn’t done, but here is her work in progress:

First time to paint with brushes

And here she is, cleaning up from her first round of painting with brushes:

Washing hands after painting

She was very content with her work so far.

Mommy: What are you painting?
Rylee: Stars at night
Mommy: Where?
Rylee: Not yet, mommy. Wait.

We’re Home & Settled

January 7, 2008

We’ve been cleaning and organizing and rearranging since we got home.  Belle is doing fine, but it took a couple of days of readjusting for her to know we’re coming home in the afternoon if we leave in the morning.  We had a great Christmas and enjoyed seeing everyone.

Tom goes back to work tomorrow, and is clean shaven with a nice haircut, but I kinda miss the beard; it was growing on me.
