Our new place is a duplex townhouse with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It is huge!! We have several great LDS neighbors that live really close. Our ward is wonderful as well and the majority of the members are students and young couples just like us. We have been having over a different couple each Sunday night to play games and have dessert.
So Lucas has started law school and he is working a ton but is really enjoying his classes and has already felt like he has learned a ton. He is taking the following classes: contracts, criminal law, civil procedure, and a research and writing class.
I am currently studying for the CPA exam and hope to have all of my exams taken and passed by the beginning of next year. I have also made lots of new friends and we get together for play group and go to different thrifts around the city. Also we have a new calling in the ward--- we are nursery workers and we are having a lot of fun with that---there are 15 kids!!
Well our little baby boy is turning 6 months old this week and I can't believe it. He is sitting up on his own and loves eating and drinking big kids food. There are times when I am trying to eat around him that I have to stop because he wont stop staring at me and I just feel bad! Also he is in love with watching the TV which I try not to let him do very often. However if he is just really fussy and I can't make him happy I will turn on a Baby Einstein movie for him to watch:) We also started sleep training Oliver because I just couldn't take waking up with him 4-6 times every night. He wasn't sleeping well and neither was I so it just wasn't working! It was hard to let him cry but within a couple of days he was sleeping great and only waking up once a night. Also we went cold turkey with his pacifier and I am happy to report he has been pacifier free for the past three weeks.
Also this summer we spent time with Lucas' family at their house and we also attended the Illinois State fair for a week.... that is right a whole week! We saw the different exhibits, some of the judged shows, some musical numbers, and ate tons of fair food. Also I milked a cow for my very first time! We all had a great time and we enjoyed spending time with the family.
