Loosing and Gaining Teeth

I know, I know. It's been forever. I must admit, my boys (especially the littlest one) keep me very busy. So, here are some updates.

Tegan is now 7 months old and is learning to crawl. He rolls all over the living room and scoots/army crawls to arrive at his thought-out destination. He's pretty quick and keeps me on my toes. He is also pulling up with little assistance and loves to hold my hands and walk anywhere and everywhere. Of course, he is not interested in his toys, but would rather pull books off the coffee table or find pieces of lint to stick in his mouth. He HATES to be left alone, which seems to be quite the opposite of my oldest. He is also teething. Although no teeth have erupted yet, he chews on anything he can get his hands on, leaving said object coated in baby slobber.

While I have one child trying to get teeth, I have the other loosing them! He has lost both of his front teeth! Richie and I joke, saying he looks like a member of Fight Club. He is doing very well in school. I am still so please we chose to send him to SWCS. It has been such a blessing. Baseball season is over for him and we are looking at starting him in karate on Monday. I think this extra-curricular activity will be perfect for him as it will teach him focus, discipline, and respect.

I have finally finished my requirements for my Bachelors of Science degree!!! I will graduate in December, which can't get here soon enough. My degree is in Family Studies and Gerentology. Many have asked, "What are you going to do with your degree?" And to answer, I say, "Not much." However, you do need a Bachelors for medical school, so that fulfills a requirement for my life goal. I will now spend the next 1.5 year attaining my science pre-requisites for med school. So, yes, I'll be in school offically for the next 5.5 years (at least). And I'm okay with that. The reason I'm okay with it is because I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that this is what God has called me to do. I find peace in knowing that, although this is a huge endeavor, God has cleared the path for me. Richie is the most supportive husband I could ask for; he believes in me just as much as God does. With all that being said, I am excited about embarking on this new journey and am excited to take on the challenge.
Here are some newer pictures:

This kid is a ham, always smiling for the camera



After loosing the two in front. No more corn-on-the-cob for him!



Well, that about brings you up-to-date. Until next time.
