Swimming Lessons






OK, so its more like toddler water survival, but you've got to start somewhere. Watching Reagan be scared and cry for me, knowing full well that I needed to let her learn was tough - and a bit of foreshadowing of things that are to come I suppose... But she did great! And by the last couple of days has been wanting to "swim" from Jess to the pool steps and back. She learned how to hold her breath, find and pull herself up on the step or side wall, and how to flip over on her back and float. And she even went off of the diving board (with extra "encouragement") many times.

Surprise Party




A couple weeks ago, I thought we were headed to a BBQ at a friend's house. Well, it was a BBQ, but it was for me in celebration of my long awaited graduation. My preceptor who I've been learning from for the past 2 years and my husband pulled this off without me having a clue. I had a wonderful time, and I was very surprised. Thanks Lenora and Mark!

My friend Karen who just had a baby, recently moved to FL, and has a 3 year old at home also helped with the organization of the event. As if she weren't busy enough! Thanks Karen!

There were also a few gifts. I now have an official desk accessory with my professional title. Now I just need a professional desk in a place of employment! Thank you to all. And I can't believe you all kept the surprise so well!
