Tomorrow is the end of my favorite month. But it sort of was the hardest month of my life. This past year has been one crazy ride. I was thinking about a year ago...we just baptized the 3 little boys, moved out of our home in Bloomington, and getting ready to move into our newly built home in Washington Fields. We were so excited! And to think of that moment of moving out of our home was really the start of crazy!

So I'm sort of hoping that this year is gonna be a little less exciting. I'm really hoping to graduate this year. Just finished two papers yesterday, have one left! I have around 200 clinical hours left. I'm just going to take it nice and slow on that though. Yeah, yeah, yeah you say? I know I'm inpatient, competetive and things left undone make me nuts. BUT, I have to slow it down. Can you tell I'm talking myself into this? How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

We had family pictures taken this week, courtesy of my sweet co-workers and friends. It was actually a ton of fun! I'm so excited to get them back. We were really able to encorporate a lot of what and who Jeremie is into these photos. Got the bike and the Les Paul in them too :-) I've never had fun doing family pictures before. Definitely will be doing that again! So stay tuned for those (I asked her to photoshop me to look great...she promised she would...hee hee hee!)

Jeremie is seeming to do better this week. He has struggled with calf and leg pain. Most likely a side-effect from the Cyclosporin. He said the edge is off today in terms of his pain. He is walking around more this week. Still struggling with nausea/vomitting, but I even think that is a little better then it has been. He is skinny as a rail, but gorgeous! Stinker now officially weighs less than me. I'm a bit bitter about that. So of course I'm trying to fill him full of the highest calorie foods I can find. Which I'm probably the only person in the store looking for the highest calorie, fat and sugar content I can find.

Hoping that this week proves to be even better, and that he can keep gaining strength. He needs to be able to have a little bit more fun. His bike is screaming for him to ride! Hopefully the weather will be more cooperative as well.

Lots of love...
