Don't count the hours in the day. Make the hours in the day count.

"All children need a laptop. Not a computer, but a human laptop. Moms, Dads, Grannies and Grandpas, Aunts, Uncles - someone to hold them, read to them, teach them. Loved ones who will embrace them and pass on the experience, rituals and knowledge of a hundred previous generations. Loved ones who will pass to the next gneration their expectations of them, their hopes, and their dreams." - General Colin L. Powell

So for a quick update...

Let's see. There are so many things going on right now in the Myers Family. I'll try and get you up to speed on what's going on with us and then post our random happenings as they occur!

Clayton started grad school last week. He decided now was as good a time as any to go back to school to get his Masters Degree. And since work is paying for it... It's a one-year program through Arizona State in Information Management. He has class two nights a week and some Saturdays for the better part of the next year. It's been kind of hard to get into the swing of things because his work schedule has been all messed up. And this week was especially hard because he had class two nights in a row... And boy does Andrew miss his daddy! I just keep telling myself that it's only a year. Actually it's only about 11 months now. And for the most part he'll only have class on a night he works once every other week so that'll make it easier once we can get into a good rhythm.

For those of you who haven't heard, we're EXPECTING! It's been a long, stressful year, but we've finally been blessed with another. I'm due sometime around January 25, but I won't know for sure until I have my first pre-natal doctor's appointment in a few weeks. This one's hitting me a little harder than the first for a couple of reasons... (1)I'm tired - and I have a two-year old. The last time I had to deal with pregnancy tired, it was just me and Clayton so when I got tired, I took a nap. Not so with Andrew around. I do usually take a nap when he does. I don't know what I would do if he didn't still take a nap. (2)I'm nauseous - and I wasn't with Andrew. Didn't have a drop of morning sickness with him, but my stomach is nearly constantly in my throat, making sleeping and just being kind of uncomfortable. We are so looking forward to adding to our family though.

Andrew is doing fabulous. He's so stinking smart that he scares me sometimes. He's got a memory like a sponge. Clayton and I have to be super careful what we say, because a day or two down the line, he's repeating us. He's so tall, too. Most people think he's more like three than two. He loves the park and would spend every waking hour there if we would let him. It's been really hard with the temps up in the 100s because it's just too hot to take him out to play. So we usually make a trip to the McDonald's playland down the road. And he loves every minute of it!
