Finally Warm

The sun as finally decide to come out and bless the ND area with some warm weather. It was really nice the last couple of days and Cole and I spend the majority of it outside. I took him to this little creek that runs through the campus and we decided to throw rock into it. The third picture is him throwing a rock with each hand.



There are lots of little ground animals in which I have no idea what they are called, but Cole really enjoys running after them. They are really quick and Cole hasn't figured out that he needs to be quiet and sneak up on them. The picture below is of one of these animals, you can see the hole he runs into just above and to the right of the animal (which is centered in the pic).



I came across this quote the other day, and for some reason it has really stuck in my mind. Most likely because it really applies to me right now. "You don't have to stay up nights to succeed; you have to stay awake days." How true this is. That quote applies to me because by its definition I am not succeeding, but I am hanging on with everything that I have got not to stay up too late.

Getting Close to the End of Another

So it is that time again, my semester is coming to a close and I am trying to get all of the loose ends tied up. I have two big group projects that are both due the next two weeks along with presenting them to the classes. My favorite. I am not to worried about them, I just really hate being dragged to the front of the class and having to talk about something that nobody in the room cares about, including me. Kind of torture if you ask me.

I have registared for my summer and fall class this past week. I hope that everything falls into place for me and I am able to finally be done with school come Christmas. And just a shade under a decade too, however the sad part is I will not be able to be placing the letters "MD" at the end of my name.

Winter I think has finally wrapped up around here and summer seems to be just around the corner. Cole is looking forward to playing outside more than what we have been. I bought him a little bucket with some shovels and the two of us went out and sat in the sand box (volleyball court) and just played for an hour. One day last week we even got to play "hoops." That is right since adding another year under his belt he has upgraded from "shoup."

Yes mom we found a good year around use for his Easter basket.
