Dan's Life in Winter

Pity the poor Grad Students

Mommy Moments: Orange

Daniel is a slow teether.  Veeeeerrrryyyyy Slow.  His teeth start annoying him, but they won't come out for months!  Drooling, diaper rashes, random crankiness and the desire to chew everything.  We found that a good way for him to get his chew on, while enjoying something healthy is to give him a big chunk of carrot.

Thankful Thursday

I am thankful today for some great girl friends.  Daniel and I are traveling to Minneapolis next week and I am joyously overwhelmed with how many gals in my life that I get to see.  From my friend K who graciously opens her home to us, to my awesome mom and mother-in-law, to my great sisters and cool sister-in-law.  All of these women make a difference in my life on a regular basis, and their support really lifts me up.

I know there are a lot of chain emails around the internet and text messages for girlfriends, but I just want you gals to know that I am blessed by each of you.  No matter where we move in the next year, I know that all of you will stay in close contact, and yours are the friendships that keep me sane.
