Pictures of Scott

Here's a few pictures Theo took of Scott.

Wednesday, November 25, 2009

Scott is getting better hand coordination, I think. We give him toys to play with and some finger foods. Here, you can see he was trying to eat a cracker. I think that most of it ended up on his face or his bib. Oh well, he's learning.

Scott enjoyed his cracker, and we just had to take pictures of him.

Birthday party

Daniel turned 4 and Elena turned 2 this month, and we were invited to their birthday party. Halley planned some fun things for the kids. Here they are reading a story.

Here they are playing on the slide

Piñata time. Elena wasn't sure how it was done.

Yes, that's me holding the piñata.

Daniel knew how to hit it and get the candy to fall out.

All the kids gathering their treats.

Waiting for the cake.

Happy Birthday Daniel and Elena.

Here is Scott and me hanging out at the party.

Who is this cute kid?

Here's our little guy. Always very cheerful, (except when he's hungry, tired, or needs a diaper change).

Sitting and watching me very closely.

"Will you play with me instead of just taking pictures?"

"I'm not going to fall over, I have super good balance.

Pretty soon this kid will be moving around. He'll probably start crawling soon. He tries to move around, but hasn't figured out all the details yet. Until then, we let him sit, and play.

School

I'm not sure if many people know, but I started back to school last month. I'm working on my Masters degree in Accounting at the University of Phoenix Online. It is all going great, so far. I knew that at some point, I would need to get a masters degree, but I've been putting it off for a while. Since I finished my bachelor's degree in May 2008, I've been enjoying my free time, from just working and spending time with family.

I'm so glad that Eva helped me decide now was a good time to go back to school. I've had such a good experience with it. I love my online class. It's great how it's setup. Eva and I were talking about it this afternoon. One class at a time is a great way to go. I decided to go with online classes since I would save time by not having to drive to class and be there at a certain time. While I have gotten a little less sleep now, since I stay up working on homework after Scott goes to bed, I still feel it is very worth it.

When I finish the class I'm in now - Communications for Accountants - I'll have just 10 classes to go. I'm taking next month off for vacation, but after that, no more time off until I finish. I should graduate in April 2011. I'm so excited for that. After that, I'll take the CPA exam and work on becoming a CPA. What an exciting future I will have. I know, not everyone thinks that's an exciting future, to be an accountant, but I love that type of work. I'm excited that this is how my life is going. If anyone reading this is interested in learning more about the University of Phoenix and going back to school, let me know and I can share some info with you.

Just one more week of this class, and I'm glad that it's going smoothly. It's nice that when you set priorities and work towards bettering yourself and looking out for your family, things go smoothly. Work for both me and Eva is going well. Scott is just growing up quick. He's such a good kid. We love him tons, and enjoy playing with him and watching him learn and grow up. We're blessed, for sure
