Results from Yesterday

(These are photos from way back but just look how cute my family is!)

Last night we had our annual homeowners meeting. My contract was renewed! I didn't doubt that it would be but I didn't realize how much they valued me. :) That was a nice feeling. Joe was elected President again. :) I have a lot of work to do in terms of following up on some of the items discussed last night. But it is manageable and doable.

Yesterday Talan had his 3 year check-up. He is in the 70% for height being 38.5 inches tall. He is in the 80% for weight, he weighs 35.8 pounds. Joe says the doctor gave Talan the thumbs up. I was in class so I had to miss the appointment.

Joe brought the boys and me over to Barclay's house to see the new bathrooms. The master bathroom has been painted beige and the half bath is sage. They look great. I also checked out the master closet which now has shelves and rods. It is all coming along. I fail to realize how many steps it all is but there is forward progress. Our neighbor Carl, Terran's dad, has done all the sheet rocking and painting of the bathrooms. He is a bit of a character but he does good work for a very reasonable price. We adore Terran and so it is nice to help each other out. Terran was here all last night while we were at our meeting so the babysitter Danielle had some help as Terran definitely keeps our boys entertained. :)

I have a lab exam today. I have to do a gram stain, a negative stain and a hanging drop slide (to observe motility). We will have an unknown specimen and by doing the three tests, we should be able to figure out which organism it is. I am actually looking forward to it. :) Kinda cool and exactly what goes on every time a specimen gets send to a lab for analysis. Yes, I am a geek!

Joe and Matt went off skiing early this morning. This is the first time Joe has skied in North Idaho. We just have never had the time or opportunity with the kids being so young. So, I am excited for him and hope they have a blast. It is snowing ever so lightly so I hope they have good fresh powder up on the mountains. Our babysitter DiAnna is coming over at 10am to watch the boys. This is my long day at school. She has been missing them so I think it is going to be a good day for everyone.

I did check out the Moms' Club here yesterday. I belonged to the one in Saint Simons Island when I lived in Georgia. I took Missy and May Paul with me (and Talan). Seems like a nice group of moms and they do about one activity a week. For example, next week they are going on a fire station tour and the following week they are having a book time gathering. Of course, these events conflict with my work-out schedule so I am on the fence about what is more important, Talan being exposed to kids his age or me getting to exercise. I may trade off prioritize one over the other. A compromise of sorts. :) Who knows? I'll figure it out as I go along.
