Convocation

Here is a shot of us "pre-white coat" Tessa, Nick and Bryce before convocation

Last Saturday

The boys enjoyed a brief break from studying saturday morning. The weather was BEAUTIFUL! However, this was their only break- ALL DAY LONG!

Aparently some other student (I think he's a 3rd year) heard about Bryce's football playing and wants to set up a sprint race to see who's fastest. Come to think of it, he might be on the team they played last week. I guess the guy told him that he was "the fastest white guy" he'd ever seen. Well now, that's quite a compliment!

Bryce and Nick studied from about 11:30 until after 10pm. last Saturday in preparation for a busy week of tests. Wow! Here there are having a (very) quick snack break. They were getting a little loopy by the end of the studying extravaganza!

Saturday Morning Football

I really didn't get any good pictures of the entire event. Here we have a close-up of Craig guzzling water after the game with Bryce and Seth wandering off the field behind him. At least Bryce is looking tickled with life!

Saturday Morning Football

The guys meet to discuss strategy. This is high-stakes, high-intensity FLAG FOOTBALL!















This picture was taken after one of Bryce's picture-perfect diving catches. He is running off celebrating the move. I, of course, was unable to capture the moment. Really, this picture is horrible, but it's the memory of the moment that really counts!

Scavenging...

Yesterday as Bryce and I were driving home from church we noticed that there was a changing table (and some other odds and ends) sitting out in front of one of the apartments across the street. I wanted the changing table! (Free works into our budget nicely!) Today it was still there after the garbage collectors had come by, so I grabbed it and walked the block, or so, back to our apartment.

Here is our fabulous find sitting outside on the patio waiting for some extreme disinfecting. I am going to need to do a little painting as well. The second shelf had some crayon marks on it, but other than that, this thing's a gem!

This picture is for mamas Clark and Tanner who wanted to see The Belly. The good news is that our little boy is growing and getting stronger. The bad news is that this is all happening inside my belly! However, look at the ankles- thankfully there's still no swelling. So, other than a bit of discomfort when he practices his football moves, things are going very well for us.

I finally had a doctor's appointment today and I get to go in tomorrow morning for my glucose test (a routine check to see if I've acquired gestational diabetes). After that I am going to make bread and work on cleaning off that changing table. Hopefully I'll get the shabby parts spray painted so I can bring it inside tomorrow evening.

Bryce and his new study buddy, Nick, are in the living room studying. I would have taken a picture, but the camera just died. I'll get them on their next study date.

Life is good in Memphis! We love you all!
