Thankful!

Yesterday I bubbled in my last testing scan-tron, and finished up my first semester of nursing school.  It was a good yet challenging semester, of which I am so thankful to be done.  A special thanks to my loving husband and supportive family- I couldn't have done it with out you.

Here is a reflective picture from my first day of clinical...I was so nervous; but 10 weeks later I am feeling more confident and much more like a nurse.

So this morning I woke up feeling like a new "free" women, ready to take on all the things I love doing but didn't have much time for during school, one of which is blogging.

Catching up on Anders

I am very thankful for my healthy and happy little boy.  He brings such joy to our lives!  Anders turned 9 months on the 21st.  His appointment with Dr. G showed the following stats:

Weight- 20.4 lb (50%)

Height- 29.5 in (95%)

Head- 18.5 in (95%)

Anders currently loves: to make people smile by clapping his hands, taking baths, eating, playing with his cousins, standing- with Mom and Dads help, and singing (listening to us sing and then adding his version).  He also is trying out a new move that we call the "push-up" (pictured below)...this may mean that he will be crawling soon.

 Bath time- 1st mohawk!

 

Mom Larson

This past month we celebrated with my mother-in law on her birthday.  I am so thankful to have a wonderful mother-in-law, who is such a help with Anders and a great example of a positive and joyful person. 

 
We celebrated Thanksgiving at their place and I was one of only two Americans in the room.  Canadian thanksgiving is in October- so I am a lucky girl that get's to celebrate my favorite holiday not once but twice!
