Our Little Scooter

Luke is reaching physical development milestones and break neck speed. At 4 1/2 months, he rolls from front to back and back to front. And thanks to his daddy's encouragement, he's starting the beginnings of crawling. Don't believe me? Here's proof.

Before we know it he's going to be running crazy all over this house following his big brother around like a little shadow. I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet.

Four years and counting...

On Thursday, Clayton and I celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary. In some ways I can't believe it's been that long. In others, I can't believe that's all the longer it's been. Clayton has been such a blessing in my life. Loving me even when I was acting unlovable. He's been my rock. He's a wonderful husband. A great dad. An excellent provider. He is the "Love of My Life" and I'm looking forward to many more years together. Happy Anniversary, Honey. I love you so very, very much!

Thoughts on graduation

I never thought the day would come that Clayton would be done with school. It wasn't even a full year, but it seemed like an eternity. In order to be reimbursed by Intel for his school, he had to apply to Intel in Sept. of 2007. We had been trying to get pregnant for months to no avail. Didn't really think any thing of it. He applied to the MSIM program in January 2008. He was accepted in March to begin in June. Then in May we found out we were expecting Luke. It was a wonderful day. Then reality started to sink in. The baby would be born with a full semester left to go. I knew it would't be easy, but I knew that Clayton couldn't pass up the opportunity to go to school.

June 2, 2008. My birthday. And Clayton's first night of class. Happy birthday to me. And it was non-stop chaos the rest of the time. Being a school widow isn't fun. But hopefully it will be worth it.

Despite having a growing number of things to do at work, a calling in the EQ presidency and full time school, as well as having a growing family, Clayton did very well. Honey, I want you to know how very proud I am of you. I know I wasn't always the most supportive during this whole thing. Your intelligence and drive amazes me. And your willingness to make sacrifices in the short term to hopefully benefit your family in the long term is a trait few have. I love you very much. And I am SOOOO glad to have my hubby back!

Clayton's Convocation

Andrew loves the bagpipes. He missed them at Scott's graduation going potty. And he didn't go to Jim's graduation with us because it was going to keep him up too late. So I thought I'd get a video of it for him to watch any time he wants. (You, too, Grandma C.)

For those of you who couldn't make it, here's video of Clayton during convocation.
