Fun at the fair!

We took advantage of a rare day together as a family and headed out to the Texas State Fair. We all had a blast. Claire was just tall enough to try out some of the rides. She loved spinning fast in this one as long as she could hold on to me.







After this ride we kept hearing about how Claire and mommy flew together in the green airplane.







Evie hung out, watched people go by, and shared many conversations with us. She's such a good kid.







We ate, we walked, we watched dancers and meandered through exhibits. Overall it was a great family day.

School is off to a great start. I did well on my first two exams and, looking at the next couple of months, have a few major papers to complete. It's nice to see the hard work paying off.

This picture was taken at Claire's school, Children's Courtyard. She's a true Texas girl now :)

Nose in the books.... you should see the ink stain on my face :)

Here I sit for hours on end. Sometimes typing away, sometimes trying to process new information as time passes by.

Do I study nursing's metaparadigm, the grand theorists and their views about the metaparadigm while working on my concept paper and developing a formalized writing of my personal framework?

Do I study the cytochrome P450 system, the tricarboxylic cycle (aka Kreb's cycle), the electron transport chain, and the chemical composition of all parts of a cell and what happens on a molecular level when you ingest that steak, potato, and veggie meal?

Do I start working on my research critique which will in fact be about four times longer than the research publication was originally?

It's late. I'm tired. I'm headed for bed so I'm well rested for the important stuff. Tomorrow (wednesdays) I'm home with the girls until class starts at 1700 :)
