Updates

So, I was looking at the most recent pictures on our camera and noticed that we just haven't taken pictures in a while. Here's what is going on:
--I go for a walk in the mornings with Emily. It has been a nice habit of getting me out of bed early and going on with the day. When the walk is over, I shower and get ready for the day, and proceed to work on my Independent Study classes: Hepe and English 314. I just finished Hepe today and requested the exam. I hate when emails tell you "If all goes well, your exam should arrive in 2 weeks". Give it to me now! Hopefully, this little guy will just come on time and I'll be able to be finished with it.
--Steve's schedule: He wakes up at 7:15am, gets ready and heads to school. He has found that if he gets going early, he can come home by about 1pm every day. Its wonderful to hear the key in the lock and know that he is home! Steve is working in research for food science right now. He likes the freedom of making his own schedule. OChem seems to be treating him well enough. He studies hard and does well and I'm proud of him! He has signed up for 2 independent study classes that he plans on getting mostly done this summer. I'd say this beats taking the second half of OChem with a newborn!
--I just finished curtains for the baby's room and I'm almost finished with the crocheted blanket that I've been working on.
--Steve and I have mastered fresh strawberry jam and we love sharing it with people and making them happy!
--We are looking forward to several weddings this summer, most especially Kevin and Kristen's on the 15th of Aug and Elise and Mike's on the 18th. They will definitely keep us busy!

Love you!
