Thanksgiving 2006

Tim has spent the majority of the holiday installing his new engine in his car. It's still not done, but he is getting closer. I have seven papers ready to turn in this week and I am ready to be done with school! I'm not sure what to do with myself now.

We spent Thanksgiving over at our friends, John & Mary Ellen's. Tim did one turkey for the dinner, so he doesn't feel too deprived. I went on a great hike at China Camp yesterday with my friend, Devora. She is 30 weeks pregnant to my 28 weeks. I have pictures of both posted, but please do ignore the hiking hair.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Almost Thanksgiving

It's almost Thanksgiving and I am ready. My goal was to finish all of my papers before the Thanksgiving break, but I'm not sure that is going to happen. I have one paper that I still haven't started and I keep putting it off. But, everything else is in process.

I'm coming to Louisiana December 7-13 to visit. I found a frequent flyer mile account that I forgot about and booked a free ticket. Like free money! I thought it would be good to travel before I get too huge and uncomfortable for flying.

I've attached a picture of my new favorite dog, Buddy. Buddy's owner, Kerry, is my school colleague and I have been hanging out at her house doing child observations of her son for one of my papers. I just had to take the pictures of Buddy.

Nothing else exciting going on here...

Deep into School Papers & Getting Kicked

No post for over a week...I am in the midst of school papers. I turned in three this week and am targeting two for this week. After that, I have three more left. If you want to know anything about Child Temperament, Treatments for Anxiety, Disordered Eating and Mindfulness Meditation, then I am your expert. It's a good thing I am so busy because Tim is working late every night. He hopes that his big crush of work will ebb a little before the end of the year.

On the baby side, I am getting kicked constantly. More so when I want to sleep. I think that's a good thing though. I can only imagine it will get more intense. Almost 26 weeks along, so almost in the third trimester.

I attached my new favorite picture of Tim...him hiding under the pillows to drown out the garbage trucks that come by every single morning at 4:30AM!

Update your web links

Given that I am supposed to be writing 10 papers for school right now, I have decided to upgrade my website with all of our pictures. So, if you had visited our old website before, I've taken it down. But, the new one is at http://web.mac.com/lealotus

Most of the pics are the same, but I have links to a few ones at the bottom of the page. The newer site is easier for me to update and takes up less file space.

With that, I will return to my 10 papers for school and be a good student. For an update on Tim, he is now on to a new project...installing a new engine into his 1971 Triumph Spitfire (pictures coming). He bought it on ebay and the engine wasn't up to Tim standards (i.e. the engine could fall out at any time). We are practical people after all. You know, buying a convertible right before having a baby. :>
