The 1st Week of School

Hello to our readers! =)

So sorry for the time between posts, but we are surprisingly busy around here. Pierce is becoming more energetic and awake every day - which is a blessing, but he requires more attention than before!

Speaking of the little guy, he is doing great. HE has had a tummy ache the past few days, but I think he is OK, and he loves to smile and laugh. I will hopefully get to a Best Buy and be able to buy a cable to put our videos on the computer - then you can all see them! And new pics will be here soon, I just have not downloaded them yet.

So, for those who don't know, and a lot do not, Anna decided to attend LMU for graduate school to pursue her teaching certificate, and more importantly, her Masters degree. It will take a year and a half. She has classes Saturday mornings, and Monday and Wed. nights. So, she can still stay at home with Pierce, and then I can take over whenever she is gone. Hopefully she will start babysitting for a woman at my school soon to bring in some cash flow.

School is going great. I have studied like it was finals week - except it was just the first and easy week. I have a class I have not even had a lecture on yet! But I think I am caught up and feel good about it. We (students) have decided that learning all of these medical terms is beginning to replace our normal English vocabulary. I give directions using anatomical landmarks and such - it is pretty silly. Working with the cadavers is a lot of fun. The human body is absolutely amazing. and luckily the parts make sense. For example, a nerve running medial (close to the inside of the body) is called a medial nerve, or the supinator muscle supinates,etc. - it helps a ton with memorization. I sing "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" to Pierce using anatomical terms! Our professors taught to take the utmost respect when working with cadavers. These people led normal lives just like you and me, and they were gracious enough to donate their body so I could learn - there is a lot of respect when working with the dead.

Overall, it has been fun.I did in fact survive my 1st week in school, as did all 159 of my classmates. I will post back soon with pictures! We love those comments!
