Diaper Dash

We enjoyed watching Micah run his 1st organized race today during the St. Louis marathon festivities in the Diaper Dash. He really enjoyed himself; we all enjoyed ourselves. Our cousins Kevin, Leslie and Kyle came out to cheer Micah on, too.

Before the race we watched Heat 1.

Micah was in Heat 2. Here is that race.

Then after the race.

Happy Easter

We hope you all enjoyed a very Happy Easter. It was cold and snowed off and on all day here in St. Louis.

Evening walk in the park

We decided to go hangout in the park and reminisce about when we first moved to St. Louis. We can't wait to get back to Texas. I only have 7 more weeks until I graduate and we are back home!

This squirrel was always in this spot in the park when we would hangout at this fountain. Today we fed him some Doritos.

Here are some other scenes and wildlife we saw in the park.

Happy St. Patty's Day

Check back this week, because I will be doing a lot of site updating--It's SPRING BREAK. Look through the previous posts, because I have added some new ones today.

Sorry I fell behind on the site I have been so busy with school.

Happy Birthday Terrance

We picked Micah up from School and headed to the Melting Pot on the Loop in St. Louis. We had a great time, and I left feeling gorged. Happy Birthday Babe!

Move over Elmo

I found Micah sleeping to my surprise curled up with his Baby Tad. This was too cute for me to pass up on the photo-op!

More artwork from our little artist

I love the textures he added to this piece of work!

Day at the track

Micah loves to run just like his daddy. I tagged along because I needed the study break.

Happy Valentine's Day

I thought I would share my first piece of artwork from Micah!

Hanging out

Micah would not stop running in his new shoes so we decided to hangout in the clubhouse before heading up to our apartment.

Enjoying the snow

Micah and I have been sick so the day off Friday was much needed by us. It snowed about 8 inches where we live starting Thursday afternoon.

Since we were feeling better today we let Micah venture out into the snow. He loved it! It was a beautiful day out about 40 degrees.

Micah goes to see Sesame Street with his cousins' Leslie and Kayla

Leslie and Kayla took Micah to the Sesame Street show, and Micah also turned 1.5 (18mo.) today. They said he danced and sang as much as the characters in the show. This is a picture they took of Micah. When I picked him up I sung the Elmo's World song to him and he grinned and tried to sing with me.

This is the time
This is the place
Elmo's World
La la la la
La la la la
Elmo's World

Thanks again Leslie and Kayla!

I'm ready to wrap things up

Well, school started back this past Tuesday, and it was rough. The lectures seemed like they were endless! Good news though, the School of Nursing did decide to change our grading scale. Too bad it only counts for one of my semesters. We were told the new grading scale is NOT retroactive. I think they like to play with us accelerated students. Now a -B is 83-84. Before a -B was 85-86; an -A was not even considered until you made a 93. Now it is a more reasonable 91.

Hopefully next week I will be back in the saddle and tolerating lecture better. It may be harder because I got used to having clinical time. Patient interaction, yeahhhh! In March I will start my comprehensive and May I will be a GN (graduate nurse). We have about 3.25 more months left here in old St. Louis.

Micah is at a new daycare and loving it. When we drive up he is beaming, he starts waving, and he can't wait for me to get him inside. He is happy when I leave and happy when I pick him up. Thanks for all of your prayers and suggestions on the matter.

Getting back out after snowday

We decided to go to the St. Louis Science Center since we had been stuck in the apartment for a couple days due to snow closures at Micah's daycare and my school. Well, we got there and for some reason they were closing early. Since the weather was beautiful outside and we weren't ready to go back home we decided to go to the baby park (not sure of the parks real name, that is what we call it). Micah had so much energy he needed to get out.

Of course it is a boat!

I love receiving art from Micah now! He learned about boats today at school.
