Shaving: Trial and Error -- or just Error.

So this is a really old picture of Seth, I think he's 14 months (Isn't he CUTE?!). I love this picture, I have some really cute kids. I'm still unable to upload pictures to my computer so old ones will have to suffice. Anyways, just wanted to write down this memory for memory's sake, too bad it's not an overly happy one :( Seth was in the bathroom doing his duty (he likes his privacy), and after he was done he found Jeff's razor. I can see the chain of thought, he's a big boy -- he can use the potty, why not shave like daddy? Poor Sethy, I come in after five minutes to make sure everything was ok and he just looks at me, "Mommy, I'm bleeding." OH it was heartbreaking! He cut his chin up badly and he had blood rolling down his face, and on his hands, and small scratches on his finger and cheek. There was toilet paper on the floor from where he tried to clean up the mess himself. It wasn't a terrible cut, but Seth has never seen so much blood, especially from him! He was really shaken up for the rest of the day, and even in the morning when we took the band aid off (he vomited). Oh Sethy. So this is his first "accident" I guess, even though it wasn't serious or really an accident.

Finally official

Well after graduating in December of 2007 I have just sort of been waiting for the time when I go back to school. Finally that time is upon us. Even better though, I will be able to bypass the masters degree, (which is slightly unusual for the sciences (by which I of course mean the physical sciences (physics, chemistry, earth sciences) and life sciences (biology (which of course umbrellas into a myriad of different disciplines (though I'm sure physics and chemistry and earth sciences do as well but I am not well versed enough to know what they are))))*. In the fall I will be starting a PhD program in botany. Fun times ahead. *(Sorry for the plethora of parenthesis).

Loving the little moments

I love how well Seth and Levi play together. Love, love, love. Lately they have been building lego towers together, "Really, really tall towers," as Seth would put it. They take turns putting each piece on, and giggle when the tower eventually crashes. They're two peas in a pod. You can so tell that they are brothers -- I just think they were meant for each other, and I am extremely relieved. I don't know if most parents have as much anxiety as I did about my children getting along, but it's something I have prayed and struggled a lot with before Levi was born and now, that they would be friends and be able to support one another. Serioulsy seeing my kids play together is one of the highest joys of my life :)
