March!

March, where did it go?! I can't believe it's already almost over, but I am happy we survived!

Mike passed his Written and Oral Exams, finished his Thesis, and had his recital. It was crazy, but everything went so well! Now all he has to do is finish out the semester and he's officially graduated with his Master's in Music! Woohoo!

He's also been accepted into the Doctoral program here with an Assistantship offer, so we'll be staying another three years. I'm getting used to Baton Rouge though, and aside from missing my family and western friends all the time, I kind of like it. We've made some great friends here, and I'll be sad when we have to say goodbye!

Lil' has pretty much just been busy learning and growing. I can't believe I'm the mama of a toddler now. He's so independent, too! He can drink out of a cup, help clean up messes, name most of the parts of his body, climb onto just about anything, and open the set of drawers that hold our office supplies.

Here are a couple pictures and videos from the past month.

He loves the laundry basket. It's so funny when he puts it over his whole body and then walks around, I'll try to get it on video this Saturday when we do laundry again.

He insisted on taking both his red teddy and his giant teddy to bed for naptime, it was so cute!

He loves driving cars and trucks around everywhere... driving some people crazy in the process... :)

Now that most of the craziness is over, I'll try to keep things more updated. This month we'll start packing our stuff up and getting ready to go. Lil' O and I should be heading to Idaho the day before Mike heads to Canada the second week in May. My piano studio recital is at the end of the month, so I've been helping all my students get ready. I think they're all going to be great, I'm so excited!

Have a great weekend!
