Wish us luck

By Kerry -
I'm sitting here writing a blog with Emme squirming in my lap, even though I should be working on a paper for UT. That's right, I decided since life was going along so **easily** I should pick up my Written Comprehensive Exams from UT and start them. Basically, Comps are a final exam of our five core course and I have 30 days to write 30 pages. The topic is basically a three-year strategic plan for a school that is struggling. I picked up the paper last Wed. and I already have 8 pages written. I must say, they are pretty much 8 pages of cr@p, but hopefully I'll start putting together some good things.

In the mean time, we have a great babysitter helping me out today with Addison, so I can write my paper... not this blog. Wish us luck that I'm able to finish on time, so Andy doesn't have to play single father at night for too long! There is no option to turn it in late, and I can't fail. The only way I can start my dissertation is to get a passing grade on this paper and the criteria is tough! I'm hoping to be finished by August 17th so I won't have to work on my birthday.


Off to do research with a baby over my shoulder now...typing one handed is not easy :-)

This is a simple note to let you know how much we appreciate the BLOG's frequent updates. Thanks!!!

Good luck with the 30 pager. Sounds like there is never a dull moment on Raley Rd.

Blog by Emme

   Well, we finally made it to Arkansas after a very, very, very, very long night. There was on-and-off driving, sleeping (well, it was really a lot of little naps) on the couch, the table seat, my real bed for about two hours, then back to the table seat. But we made it!    On Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, we played with Billy and EJ, built forts, and spent a lot of time on the lake. But today, Billy and EJ were back in school and my sisters and I had nothing to do. So Uncle Gannon took us to Crystal Bridges. We saw some really cool things, went on some trails, and got lost for about half an hour. But it was worth it!     We are leaving on Thursday, so we have one more day to have fun with our cousins and then it's off to the next state and the next adventure. ~ Emme

DISNEY (part 2)

Day Three started out EARLY!  We had 7:30 reservations at Chef Mickey, so we left Nana and Papa to sleep in and we headed out for our next adventure.  Tons. Of. Fun. AGAIN!!  The girls loved dancing around and thought it was super cool that we let them have as much syrup and whipped cream on their pancakes and hot cocoa as they wanted! Here are the girls dancing around after breakfast. Donald was a definite favorite! But Goofy really got Emme's attention.  They were fast friends!! After breakfast, we decided to relax around the pool for a bit before heading to Hollywood Studios.  Addison got up the nerve to go down the super long water slide.  It was really cool to watch her do that!  Emme wasn't quite as brave, but loved spending time in the pool! After the pool, we all headed back to our rooms and the girls took a long nap.  They had been going so fast, they finally needed time to crash!!
