I love my family. We spent the day with Hunter's brother, his brother's girlfriend, his dad and stepmom. The ladies took Parker to the pool and had a blast. I love moments like these.

Day 6
Parker started school today for the first time ever. It was emotional for both of us. Mostly I was crying (after I dropped him off) and Parker kept asking to come back once I picked him up. But here are a few of the pictures I took that morning. His lunch box and backpack are essentially the same size which is about my favorite thing ever.
Parker standing in the parking lot wondering why I keep taking pictures and won't actually go in to the school. Momma just needs a minute, okay?
He immediately started playing with the toys they had set out for him so that was good. Until I said goodbye and left and heard him burst into tears about a minute later.
But then this is just seconds after they put Parker in the van and I pulled out of the carpool line to buckle him in where he kept saying, "Come back?". I spent the next fifteen minutes asking him what he did at school and this is what I got in return:
"Come back?" at least 45 times
"I kicked the ball" No context. There was a ball and he kicked it. Apparently.
"Milk" and "Juice"
It was kind of like being a part of a verbal abstract painting...you know that in some way all the parts make sense, at least to somebody, but you just can't quite get to that conclusion yourself. But it was still completely awesome.

Day 5
Caffeine: my drug of choice. There have been many classes and late study nights that were kept on strong by the delicious brew of coffee or the refreshing tingle of a coke. Coca-Cola, by the way, claims to have taken the addictive part of cocaine out of their main beverage. Yeah, good one. Also, you can consume as much caffeine as you want over a long period of time with no consequences, right? Yeah, I'm just going with it.

Day 4
Note cards. Couldn't have made a 96% on my first exam without them. The rubber banded cards represent part of the information from the first exam. The loose cards represent about half of what I need to know for the second exam that I will take next week. Another nerd alert: I always put some in my purse before I leave the house in case I get some unexpected downtime to study them. Love me some note cards.

Day 3
I love getting together with old friends. And Syd. Today I got a chance to visit with an amazing friend from college and meet her husband for the first time! He is pretty much awesome. Parker especially thought so seeing as he took full advantage of his rough housing skills and ability to be ridden like a horse. Roberto rocks. And we got to walk down memory lane while Alison read her sophmore year bathroom book to everyone. It started out so hilarious and very quickly moved to more disturbing and less hilarious. But seeing Amanda and meeting Roberto was more fantastic than the book was disturbing. So we managed to maintain a good balance this morning. Alipoosies, you are quite the hostess.

Day 2
Parker and I bake together. Every time I start to bake something he runs in wanting to help. Mostly he wants to break the eggs and taste batter. But it's still helping. And I love every minute of it. This time we made banana bread muffins from scratch for a friend that was coming into town. And I'm not going to lie. They are kind of like crack.
