A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep.

Well, it is back to the old grind for Ryan and I. For some nearly inexplicable reason, other than that we are crazy, we have both started full-time school again at the same time! (I know, we are nuts!)

Ryan began on the 22nd at the Art Center Design College working toward a degree in 3D modelling and animation. This semester he is taking Abnormal Psychology, Writing Composition, Art Philosophy and a class which teaches him to use an Adobe program (sorry, I can't remember the name.) So far, all of his teachers are nuts except the Abnormal Psychology professor. In spite of this, he is enjoying it and looking forward to the challenge. He is still working for T-mobile and has just added a very part-time job on top of that (more on that below).

I am enrolled in Baker College Online, which is a 100% online degree program from a regionally accredited college based in Michigan. I am studying Psychology, and am LOVING it. :) I am ecstatic to have something to challenge my brain again, and find psychology to be the most fascinating of all subjects. My goal is to eventually get a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and work for LDS Social Services. I also just got myself and Ryan a part-time job testing video games for a rather new company called Novint. Ryan is ecstatic and I can't believe I actually found something that I can do at home! So far, it is a lot of fun.

Lizzie started primary this year, and thus far is loving it. We were a little worried that she would have a hard time with the transition, but she went right in and never looked back. :) She made a new friend and they are somewhat inseperable. The take each other to primary holding hands all the way.

Aislin is growing like crazy and has started pushing herself up on her hands and knees. It is only a matter of time before we will have to baby-proof again, which could be somewhat impossible in this apartment. Which is why we have been diligently been looking for a house to rent. There are several possibilities, but the endeavor is overwhelming. So many changes. But, with Aislin learning to crawl and Lizzie going nuts in this cramped space, we feel it is necessary.

Other things that have been going on are: we started recycling, we bought some reusable grocery bags, and Lizzie is now exclusively on hormone-free milk. We have noticed a dramatic change in her behavior just from this small dietary change! She is so much calmer and easier to reason with. We ran out one day and I gave her all of 3 oz. of normal milk, it was the most difficult day I have had in weeks. So, no more normal stuff for her, which is a bit of a bummer because we just started WIC again and we get our milk free now. Oh, well, such is life. :)

Anyway, we are all healthy and keeping very, very busy. The next few years are going to be crazy for us, but we are excited about the future. We love you all!

Ryan, Sarah, Lizzie and Aislin.
