This week...

This week Josh has a grad class everyday from 8:00-4:30. He is taking an elective class at the same time he is in his regular core classes so that he will be on track to graduate in December. Yay! This means that Tillman and I have gotten to spend A LOT of time together. She's been all mine everyday from whenever she wakes up (usually around 8:00) until 5:00 or so when Josh gets home. However, yesterday was tricky because Josh had his elective class from 8:00-4:30 and then his regular Tuesday grad class from 5:00-9:00. So Josh was in class literally ALL day yesterday!! Sadly, he never got to see Tillman either. However, we are planning to go visit him during his lunch break today so he can get a chance to see her.

Tillman and I have been having fun together this week. We have been doing the usual: playing, going for walks, shopping, running errands, playing in her pool, etc. We went to dinner one night with some friends and showed them the house we are in the process of buying. I've also been trying to get the house in order in case the realtor gets a call and somebody wants to come view it while we are out of town. I've been packing suitcases because we are going to D.C./Iron Gate, VA this weekend through next weekend to visit my brother and his girlfriend. We also have plans to go see Josh's sister and my grandpa, Tillman's Great-Grandpa, whom she hasn't met yet. So we are excited to get to spend some time with our family that lives further away.

Here are just a few snapshots of what we've been up to so far this week.

Out and about shopping and running errands

In the pool

Chasing her new bath toys

Yay! Look what I've got!

Wakey wakey

Don't be fooled. She is nowhere near crawling. Again, this was posed.

Playing with the "Charlie blocks." These are blocks that my grandfather made for my cousins and me to play with when we came to visit. What a special gift for Tillman to be able to play with as well.

This is what she spent most of her time doing. I would build something and then she would knock it down and grab all of the pieces I was using.

Picking out a book to read.

I think she's found one.
