Family Pictures!

Boy, sometimes it feels as though I'll never be done with school! There are so many demands on a daily basis, there's never enough time to study, and no matter what you do you know that you're not spending enough time at home. I always try to do the best I can, but it really does weigh me down. I just have to keep telling myself that this is the last year of straight classroom work and then I'll be in the clinical world, where although demands there will only increase, at least I'll be in an environment that I can thrive! We are past the midway point of the quarter and we are learning tons! The topics are very pertinent for a physician, but there is just so much to learn! It's really like being told to drink from a fire hose! You can't possible get everything the first time around, but we tend to see things over and over, as the subjects will overlap quite a bit.

More and more families are moving into our new housing development. It's nice to have neighbors that are in similar situations as us. Last night we had a little block party. I was late because I was at the priesthood session broadcast, as it is conference weekend for the Church of Jesus Chris of Latter-Day Saints. But Braylei had a blast playing with all the kids and being able to stay up past her bedtime! We were able to meet more of our neighbors, too. I look forward to developing good friendships here. We are also meeting more people in our new ward. It will be nice to finally be in a non-transient ward, where families stay for long periods of time! Braylei is finally warming up a little to junior nursery. Meghan set up a play date with the nursery teacher and her littler boy in hopes that Braylei would feel a little more comfortable with the teacher. It seems to have helped, as I have actually been able to go to my meetings the past couple weeks. Meghan is already immersed in the ward as the primary pianist, and that leaves me with a great opportunity to spend some good time with Tayscen. He is growing so fast and is developing a cool little personality!

What I wanted to do today was post all of our new family pics, as we cannot possibly send them all out to everyone. But these are all hi-res, so if anyone would have the desire, you can download them and print them off!
