I cannot believe that Eli is already 8 months, Max is 7 and starting second grade in a month! Time flies too fast...I know I always say this, but it really does. Eli has two bottom teeth now, and a third is coming in. He is crawling all over the place and getting into mischief everywhere he goes....I love this. The house is coming along, Jason is up working on the upstairs as we speak. The upstairs is looking really great. I can't wait to show before and after pictures to show the progress. I am now in my second class of my doctoral program. My first class went well, but my current class is a little more difficult. I think I should just count on having a permanent stress headache for the next year and a half. It is stressful at times to find time to get everthing done. Jason is working two jobs, and I just started a job at night, and we are trying to make it all work. We have definitely found that our "simplified" life will come in time, but we have to get all the complications out of the way first.
