I've got good news and bad news

Well, not really. I just feel like life has been a little up and down lately. So, this post is all about highs and lows...

Lows

I am doing poorly in a class at school. Nothing extremely bad, just frustrating. I feel like I sacrifice a lot to study and it's not paying off. Bummer.

Getting out of the house every morning STINKS. Some days it's Keaton's crying while I shower. Other days it when he plays in the toilet if I forget to shut the lid. Kiddos cause those once a month bad mornings to become one a month good mornings. Their worth it, though :)

Being away from Keaton during the day. This links to a high, though, that his grammy is an amazing nanny :)

The combination of our three, unchangeable life choices cause high stress: Baby + Resident Daddy + Optometry School Mommy

Keaton has been sick for about a month- and has had to do a few terrible tests at a specialist's office. Sorry for the vagueness of this one, but we're just hoping he is ok!

Highs

We picked out pumpkins last weekend as a family and it is finally starting to cool down around St. Louis.

Dan is on a rotation doing more shift work (ie he gets off within an hour of when he tells me he will be home- YAY!

I have great friends- all of them understand me and make me laugh and help me make it through weekends of heavy studying. Love them!

Both Dan and I love our job choices.

I have the most patient and kind husband in the world, the cutest and funniest little baby, and the greatest parents, sisters, in-laws, and in law siblings.
