I'm going to be a Lactation Consultant.

I got an email today from the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners! My application to start training has been accepted and all I have to do now is tell my mentor, and get the hospital to let me train on the floor. I'm sooo happy!!!


I'm still going for my nursing degree, but this on top of it. :)

Weekend Update

Any reason for cute pictures of Lilian is a good one in my book.


Kyle and I have both been very busy doing school work. He's been working on his books for his apprenticeship and is happy to say there is only one book left before he is done with them for five months! I have less than one month to go till this semester ends! I've been signing up for classes too and will be taking EN111 and Psychology the first summer session (which lasts up untill the end of June) and will be taking Chemistry 107 and EN211D on Saturday mornings unless I can get into a web course, but at the moment they are all full. I am hoping someone drops the course and I can get in!


Lilian also played with her friend Jack this week and we got some adorable pictures of the two. Lilian was pushing Jack around on the riding toy and they were being especially kind to one another.

Aren't they an adorable pair? As long as Lilian isn't biting Jack....lol.


Saturday morning Kyle, Lilian and I went to D and J's in Skandia to look at wood stoves. We've been tired of paying Nine-Hundred dollars every few months to heat our house. We are looking to get a nice wood stove to supplement heat so that we can at least prevent one fill of our propane tank a year. It's also good in case Amerigas accidentally forgets to fill our tank again. grr..... Any way....at D and J we found that all their prices were just too high for us, so we are back to square one. We then had to go into town to buy Lilian a new car seat because she's two and a half pounds away from being ready for the next seat up.

On the way out of Skandia we saw that the old bar on the highway had changed names and is selling questionable food items. We had to stop and take a picture of the sign. See if you see what we see.....*hint first line plus the first word of the second line....TERRIBLE! ;)


My brother Jake and his lovely girlfriend Mandy came over Sunday morning for breakfast and brought some really great Michigan bacon. We made pancakes and eggs too. I have had a cold so I wasn't the most pleasant person to be around with all my sniffles, but they didn't seem to mind too much.

We all went to my parents Sunday night so that I could take a sauna and hopefully cleanse out that cold....it worked a little but not enough as I am still sick!! Hopefully I get better soon.


Alright one more picture of Lilian and then we are going to go play. Lilian is trying to take her shirt off in this picture. She was getting tired and ready for nap time when Jake and Mandy were over and got stuck in her shirt.

Also I should say Lilian has learned another word (she is so smart I swear she already knows so many!) She can now say "Apple." Clear as a bell!!


Alright I love you all!! Have a great day!

It has been quite an epic weekend.

Okay maybe not epic, but there were a ton of great photo opportunities that I just had to share with you!


This was at my mom's house where my mother put a hair tie in Lilian's hair for one of the first times. It took her quite some time to get it in there, she had to chase Lilian around the kitchen to actually get it in her hair! Sadly it only lasted for about two hours.


This is Sarah nursing baby Charles Moses in her Moby Wrap. It's sort of a long story, but after his mother passed away from birth complications, members of our little breastfeeding community have been taking turns nursing him so he can get the breast milk he deserves!



This is me nursing Charles and Lilian giving him kisses. I think she just wanted to smack him in the head, but it certainly appears like she is trying to kiss him here!


This is Robbie, Charles' dad. Aw so adorable.


Here is Jack, Sarah's son and Julia, Robbie's daughter.


Hope you enjoyed the pictures!! Stay Warm!

Sally
