Little miss independent

I'm still trying out how to configure some of these pictures, but you will see a little bit of Lucy's personality in her choice of bedtime outfits. "no swippers" she tells me, but prefers to run around in her boots. It is quite cute to watch her tromp around with her big snow boots or cowboy boots on with her little pj's.

This was a before bed picture also. She has the coolest hair
sometimes!

Happy New Year!

So I can't believe that it has been almost a month since I've posted anything. We had an amazing Christmas season. Our whole family was together once again, which felt good. We also had plenty of time to spend with all of our family and friends due to my work schedule this year. It just worked out that I had my weekends and holidays free to make it to all of our holiday parties.

Lucy did so well with all of the excitement of Christmas. She was into opening all of her gifts, and I'm sure since she knows what to do with them I will have to leave the bottom of the tree empty until Christmas morning next year. The kids definately bring an excitement to Christmas that is contagious.

I'm taking a break from classes this semester. It makes me feel like I have an abnormal amount of time on my hands. I'm sure by the time the baby comes I won't be feeling that way anymore. I was not pleased with Grand Valley and the changes they were making to their nursing program. I am now researching others, and trying to figure out how to not overtax myself, overspend my school budget, and still get my masters in a timely fashion. I'll keep you updated.

JIm and I have plenty of projects on our hands around the house. We are making our upstairs office into the newest bedroom on the main floor. That means the office is going to be part of the new playroom that we have to make downstairs. That involves a lot of rearranging and fun decorating! I'll be sure to put some pictures up as we get some of those started around here!
