Enough about the Squeaky Wheels

Okay, how about an update on the humans who live with the cats. We are much less destructive, but maybe you are tired of hearing about the cats?

Kolby is really enjoying (to varying degrees, depending on the day) working with the Bing team at work. He spent a few days at the ad agency in NYC this week. Highlights of his week were hanging out with his friend Will in his dressing room for a couple hours, and then meeting up with our friend Jeff who was also in town on business.
Can I just give a little plug for Bing? I have it set as my home page, and opening my browser every morning is my little moment of beauty to start the day. The daily photos are always so gorgeous. I want to be the person whose job it is to search for beautiful photographs. I heart Bing. (And not just because it pays the bills.)

I finished my clinicals for the quarter, and things are really winding down with school. I can't say I loved clinicals. I felt like I lacked competence and confidence, and that is uncomfortable. But by the end I was more in my groove, and I'm looking forward to a more interesting clinical experience next quarter. Classes are going well, with just a few more things to get thru--a medication administration test next week, a couple more lectures, and one last exam. Whew.

We've started our home search. I'm feeling ambivalent about that. Renting is so nice (except when your cat climbs the walls). But I am ready to have our own place again.

The girls are doing great. They love school. They are taking Spanish before school on Mondays and Wednesdays. They have friends over a few times a week and still have rockclimbing on Fridays.

A couple weeks ago I went to the salmon hatchery with Madeline's class. I thought it would be a snoozer, but it was actually very cool. Ya'll will get a trip to the salmon hatchery when you come visit.

And next week Amelia's class is making pumpkin pie, cornbread, and stew for a feast so I will be helping in her classroom all week. Pictures to follow...
