My Austin...

I just feel like saying how much I love this sweet boy. Yes, I know...he's more of a man than a boy but he's my baby. Plain and simple. I value his advice. He's been a great support to me while I study. Always offering to help quiz me and always encouraging me. He truly is one of my best friends. I feel so blessed to have close relationships with my sweet children. 

Dancing the night away...

She began talking about it over a month ago. This "daddy daughter dance" that would be absolutely amazing and fun. Grace, you see loves to do "fun" things...especially when it involves her family. And from a family of 6 kids, naturally any one on one time is regarded as wonderful. 

When she came home from school and saw her corsage, she was smiling. When we fixed her hair and she walked to the car with her dad in hand, she was beaming.

When she came home to tell us all about it she told us all the lovely details about how her and her dad danced every single song, and he twirled her around and threw her in the air. It made us all smile at her pure happiness of the night. I think it's safe to say that some memories were made.

I think I'm finally losing it...

I've studied a total of probably 30 hours in the last five days and the week isn't even over. No time for makeup or looking good Because there's no time to do anything but learn about partial dentures, upper and lower dentures, carcinomas, sarcomas, anemia's and the list goes on, and on and on...I'm a little tired. A little loopy, I drink a cherry coke every day as I learn about the importance of health. Good times. Surely there is an end to this madness...

Recess from school...

I had the opportunity to go to dinner with my instructors and fellow students this week. It was a true privilege to gain insight from them. My instructors are seriously some of the nicest, most genuine people I have ever met. 

Beauty is on the inside...

But when you happen to be beautiful on the outside too??? Well, that is just a bonus. 

Loving tutor...

When you are a mom and pulled in 150 different directions you learn to improvise in order to survive. Austin helping grace learn her division is one example of this. It touches my heart to see them work together. It touches my heart that my children step up to the plate when they know I'm incapable of doing it all.

Sleepy heads...

These two could not stay awake for movie night if you paid them a million dollars.
