What the white coat?

Mike had his white coat ceremony this week which makes him officially a member of the professional community . At least thats what I gleaned from the 2 hour long ceremony where everyone got a white coat placed upon them by one of their professors. Honestly as proud as I am about Mike being in dental school, achieving his dreams and all. I still thought that this was a tad boring. Thank heavens I had some fun friends to keep things interesting! Alli Dockstader and Kelly helped me keep things spicy as we waited for our husbands to get called to the stage to have the white coat placed upon them.

I am so lucky to have awesome friends and wonderful new experiences down here. But it still doesn't feel like home. I miss all of my old friends and old routines. 

Adi came back this week from utah...

Yeah...

She is so tough! I feel like I am not qualified to be her mother. I am putting her full time into preschool. I feel guilty because I look around myself and see that I don't have a need for someone else to watch her for the morning. I am fully capable of being there with her to see to her basic needs. bt I can't play with her like another child would play with her. 

I took her into her school today when we registered her for a tour of the preschool. Her sweet little face just lighted up and I could tell she didn't want to leave. In fact, when I tried to leave today she begged to stay and go to school. I hope that she will gain there some things that I can't teach her.

Travis has discovered that he can pull himself up on things to stand and get into everything that formerly he was denied access to. Adi used to hide her toys at night up high so that he couldn't get to her favorites. Now nothing is safe. Neither is Travis! He climbs up onto the coffee(hot chocolate) table and then lets go. TIMBER! Down he goes! I think its so sad because he cries, but at the same time he has this look of shock written on his face like he is thinking "How could I fall?"

We love and miss all of you and hope that you miss us too!
