Being a parent is hard sometimes...

Because sometimes, you have to say "no no" to this face...

But being the Mommy to this face, and meeting this little boy's needs is so easy. Being the one he turns to when he is afraid or hurt or needs something, the one he can trust and reach up to knowing that he will get picked up and loved beyond all measure. That part of being a parent is effortless.

Check out K and his little girlfriend here.

Aren't they cute?

I am just so thrilled for my little sissy. She found a wonderful man who makes her crack up. I couldn't be happier for her and her Nicholas Proctor. And yes, he knows about the dime (that was a little something special for all you insiders :) They will become Man and Wife, well, he's already a man, but she will become a wife on December 28th.

I can't believe my little sister is going to be a wife!

Have you met my son..

The Godfather?

Can you believe it?!

Now, I know I have been absent from the blogging world, and I will continue to be, but I had the mini-est of breaks and decided I needed to document my cutest baby boy, in the cutest stage ever. Here's his classic Klein face at 11 months.

If you want to see more of K, check out his blog here.

Meanwhile, I am done with my first 10 week nursing class and I was pleased to have received an A! I honestly didn't think this would happen in Nursing School (which school happens to be the number one in the country for pass rates for the RN exam, 100% the last two years! I didn't know this when I got in).

I have started my Mental Health class and my first test is tomorrow, so my work is not done... about two more years to go, but it is going by soo fast!

Anne's engaged to an amazing man, Grant got a promotion, our apartment flooded so we had to move, which move happened to land us right next door to another couple, which couple is a member of our church, and has a 12 month old little girl who is obsessed with K, and our monitors work in eachothers houses so we have built in babysitters!

Anyway, life is great and we are looking forward to our trip to Chicago in a couple days,Thanksgiving in our new place together, K's first birthday, Christmas and a wedding and New Years! AND a month off from school! Can you tell how excited I am?
