    Graduation & The Funk

    Today was supposed to be one of the greatest days. I was finally graduating with my Master’s degree, yippiee!!!! Graduation was at 2:00pm and the School of Social Work was hosting a desert reception for the graduating students and their family and friends from 11-1. If you know me, I LOVE to be organized although I’m not always as organized as I’d like to be and I HATE being late-it stresses me out way too much. It’s funny how my time management skills are not as good as they used to be before having a baby. With everything going on that day I didn’t want to be rushed or late…

He’s not shy by any means and of course when he does this people think he’s even cuter.  Here he is at the supermarket.

    Hot & Cold

    It has been so hot here lately! Living in the midwest, you never know what to expect with the whether.  One day it will be beautiful and the next day it could be snowing or 90 degrees. I think mother nature gets a lil confused sometimes. It’s days like these when I wish it was like this again…. Here is Ben out in his first snow, he loved it at first… Of course since it was his first snow he needed a little taste. Can you tell by the look on my face I was over the snow? Ben was over it too, so we went inside, changed clothes, and…
