Surf's Up Dude....In November!

Alright, we're not REALLY surfing, but it's the best way I can discribe our life right now. Trying to ride out the crazy waves and stay afloat. It seems like every day right now is something new and different and I've never been too big on change. I'm growing. :)
Andy began his new job this week here in Ontario. He's still finishing out his last 2 weeks at TGI Fridays, so between the two AND classes....Well, let's just say we've slept more before.
He really enjoys the new job and he's VERY excited that finals are nearing. It means a wonderful Christmas break before the big winter/spring class push. Andy got his official acceptance package last week from LATI. He now needs to catch up on some immunizations before he begins the program. Poor guy!
Nellie is working mornings at Diamond Gallery (very interesting!) and is having a better time at keeping the migraines at bay, thanks to everyone for all the advice and help! I'm having a bit of a hard time adjusting for being away from the girls, but it's only a season and it reminds me why Andy is going back to school.
Emma is also struggling a bit with the adjustment of mom working part time, but we're taking every opportunity we get to spend time with her one on one. Her little mind is working over-time right now. Jingle Bells is her latest tune of choice to belt out around the house and she's been asking for me to give her flute lessons like she sees Alyssa and I do. :) Pretty cute, she uses her bright yellow recorder.
Liv is just a crack-up! That little girl falls at least 10 times a day and almost never cries. She definitely inherited her father's accident prone nature. :) Good thing Andy's going for medical training!!!!!!!!!! Not a wonderful thing to report but Liv has lately been trying out the phrase "I told you so." Ah, the joys of correcting and guiding our kids. Tonight she jumped in the living room and landed on Dad's knee to her chest....She got a funny look on her face like she might cry and then said with a frown "That didn't feel very great."

A little shout-out to Gpa Dan who has a birthday today! Happy B-day Gpa Dan!!

Congrats to Andy on his acceptance! So when does the program start? Is this the one in SD?
