Blue Devils

Even though this was supposed to be Nick's project (and I think he has done all of three posts) AND even though he could probably post this himself.... I know he won't. EXCITING NEWS for Nick!!!! I am sure you many of you already know- but the Duke Basketball team was ranked #1 this week. They did have a narrow loss to Wake Forest last night, but I am sure it will only be a small bump in their road to ultimate victory. Here's a "shout out" to one of your passions- honey!

Even bigger and more exciting news is that Nick will be graduating in 8 weeks. We can hardly wait until Nick is officially "Dr. Nick" and making the big bucks (for me to spend shopping, of course. LOL). Our final destination is still up for debate, but at least we are to the point that we can debate it!

Reagan seems to have a new "trick" every day. Her two bottom teeth are easily visible, she sits up unassisted (and has been for a month now). It is obvious that she wants to walk really badly, but has no desire to even try crawling. This week she has been making "motorboat" sounds with her mouth.

Here are a few pictures from a recent photoshoot of the Scheurer family. Once again, my friend Korie shot the pictures, and did an outstanding job. We love them!

New Year, New Experiences!

Our HUGE ward was split on the first Sunday of the New Year. I thought for sure they were going to call me to be the ward organist, but surprisingly; they called me to the primary pianist instead. Considering that I have never cracked open the Children's Songbook to look at the music... and that so much has changed (the last time I was in primary the songbook was the 70's orange one) this ought to prove to be very interesting...

Nick had last week off from Pharmacy rotations. Thank goodness! Reagan was not her normal self. She was fussy and irritable, and for the first few days I just kept saying: "I don't know what is wrong with her?". Then, one day I happened to put my finger in her mouth and everything finally made sense! Reagan had cut her first tooth! It never occurred to me that she would start getting teeth at five months of age, but I guess so?! So far, it hasn't been the most pleasant experience and I am not looking forward to the other teeth that will inevitably follow; but like everything else we will just have to tough this experience out.

Nick was supposed to start a 12 week rotation (also, his LAST rotation) at McKayDee hospital this week. But between the lack of people doing their jobs- at both UW and IHC the rotation may fall through. If this happens, where Nick will be able to find 12 weeks of rotations on a moments notice is beyond me?!!!! We should find out the verdict today. And a BIG THANKS to Jeanne who (as always) is helping me out and putting contact information in our hands in case we do have to find other rotations. What a headache. Everybody cross their fingers for us.

Still looking for a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Another headache. And my brother had an accident (he was shot with a gun) that landed him in the hospital (don't even want to go there right now). So 2009 is already shaping up to be an eventful year. I am hoping the events start veering more toward the positive side though, because drama is exhausting!

To end on a light note. Here is a picture of Reagan eating Green Beans. I asked Nick to take pictures of her when she was eating something that looked less gross than Green Beans; but he insisted that this picture would turn out well. You be the judge...
