Grandma's come for a visit!

Grandma Manweiller arrived last night to visit with us for a couple of weeks. Chris and Marissa picked her up from the airport. Marissa is very excited to have a sleepover with Grandma. :-)

It will be great to visit with my mom, and have some help!!! :-)

New Highchair

I took these pics tonight - we got Kaitlyn a new highchair, and she enjoys sitting in it and watching us whenever we eat. I took Kaitlyn out after we were done eating, and then Marissa snuck in it to test it out....

Marissa playing in the snow

We went to visit with our friends the Kelly's after chuch today and Marissa got a chance to play outside in the snow with their daughter. They went sledding down the hill in the back (side?) yard and built a snow tower. Both girls had a blast, and of course hot chocolate afterward. :-)
(Yes, that is our dirty car in the background!)

Canadian board exam and the girls first day of school

Well, Mel wanted me to post this a long time ago and I've been procrastinating, but after a ton of nagging here I am typing out this post for you all to read!

The Canadian board exam was tough! The morning half went well enough and I thought that I would be in the clear, however, the afternoon half of the exam was extremely tough. If I fail the exam (which I really hope that I didn't ) it will be due to the second half. The weekend was pretty relaxing after that test. The flight to and from was no problem at all either.

The other day the girls came to school with me to help out as a demonstration for my infant health class. They were there for 2 hours and Marissa had a good time as there were toys for her to play with. Everybody thought Kaitlyn was funny because of how she would laugh during the physical exam and then when she was crying (for no apparent reason) the teacher would give her to me and she would instantly stop crying!

Well, I hope that this brings everybody up to date. Talk to you all later,

Chris

Chris' big exam today...

Chris is in Calgary today (he flew there yesterday) and is writing the first part of the Canadian board exam all day today.

Canadian boards consist of two written exams plus a clinical exam before he will be licensed to practice in Canada. He will write the second part and do the clinical part in the fall.

Please pray that he will not be anxious or tired, and that he will be able to easily recall all that he has learned so that he will be successful and not so stressed. (I am confident that he will do great!)

He is flying back to Bloomington tomorrow morning, so please also pray that the travel will go smoothly.

:-)
