Anxiety

Studying for the Bar was grueling... every moment of my day and night was spent immersed in my books.  Even when giving E & D a bath, I had my book in hand.

The studying, the stress, and the exam have been distant memories over the last month and half.  Tomorrow the results arrive and anxiety has set in. I studied harder then I have ever studied for an exam.  However, in the end, I really have no idea if I will see a "pass" or a "fail". So for now, I will blog and hope that I can find some sleep tonight.

Princess on Ice

 

Ellison has such a good Daddy! I accidentally double booked myself last Sunday.  This led to Graham taking Ellison and her friend, Ava, to Disney Princess on Ice.  I returned home and asked Ellison about the show, her response, "this was the BEST day of my ENTIRE life!"  Wow, sorry to have missed out!

Gators, Birthdays, Kickball

Gators, Birthday celebration, Kickball party... just a typical Saturday. A few photos from our jam packed and very fun day:

Moo

Dylan has one animal down perfectly... a cow.  He is working on the other ones. Enjoy a little video of Dylan enjoying his books.

Busy Crazy Insane Life

I came to the realization two weeks ago that my neighbors are 100% correct. We are never home. Just when I think we are slowing down, football season hits. So right after returning from St. Pete, we invited the neighbors over for a guacamole party.  So lucky to live on a great street.

Crazy Dylan

So much to say about this crazy week  Dylan. 

First, Ellison and Dylan have become so attached to each other.  I pick them up in the afternoon and they are on the playground together, playing together. They walk into school holding hands. When Ellison left school with Tiana and Dylan saw her, he broke out in tears.  In response, Ellison tried to comfort him and then had problems leaving him so upset.  It is all so sweet and wonderful.

Second, Dylan is a crazy boy!  He is 100 miles per an hour.  Jumping, bouncing, banging, colliding, crashing, smashing, and running in circles.  He now takes his food and smashes it on top of his head.  He climbs up on the windows and tries to hang like Tarzan. He runs full speed at the ottoman and flips over it.  Always with a laugh and smile. 

Did I mention the climbing?  Last week, Dylan officially decided the crib was no longer an option for him. Graham and I were forced to switch the crib over to a toddler bed. We now have a child that refuses to sleep in his toddler bed and only wants to sleep in his parents bed. Needless to say, Graham and I have had very little sleep this week.  I think a big bed is in his very near future. Oh yes, and a lock on his door to keep him in!

Dylan's brain has exploded overnight. He wants to know what everything is.  For instance our car ride, "Momma what's that?  What's that? MOMMMMAAAAA!?!"  He loves to flip through books and inquire about the words.  This age is always so amazing... they learn so much in such a short period of time.

My little guy is growing up.  

Grandma Ruthie

On Sunday, we enjoyed an afternoon with Grandma Ruthie and Aunt Linda.  Ellison and Dylan spent most of the time looking for the cat and trying to lure her out of her hiding place.  Of course Grandma Ruthie and Aunt Linda spoiled them with gifts, ice cream, and cookies.
