Mathematics is my Life

Scott and Hawkins poolside. Ladies, don't you dare try going after my man now that you've seen him with his shirt off. Keep your hands off that hot specimen!

So, I've neglected the blog lately. I'm just waiting for life to slow down a bit. After this weekend, we've got smoothe sailing for about a month before we go to Florida. That should be a time to reflect and really dish about the jumbled up events of the last few weeks. Actually, 5 days with just Scott and I shacked up at the beach sounds freakin' amazing right now.

This weekend, however, should be really fun with the folks we have coming in town for the Baptism. Scott's mom and I got Hawkins a gown to wear and he looks so adorable. It's weird because although he looks all boy, in his little dress, I can kinda see what our baby girl would look like if we had one. So cute. We also got him a little white jumpsuit to wear to brunch after the baptism. The kid will be stylin' and that's all there is to it. So, we've got Cousin Tim, Wife Gina, Baby Caroline, Godfather Matt, Partner Wally, Mama D., Papa Tom, Grammy, Grampa, Aunt Chirpy, Cousin David and let us not forget--- Uncle CHARLES!!! coming in town. Should be a good time.

This past weekend, we went to Raleigh to visit with Scott's parents and Scott's brother's family. Hawkins met his cousin Tommy for the first time which was good fun. I also met Scott's brother Alex and his wife Cheryl. They were great folks and I'm looking forward to getting to know them better in the coming years. His parents I already love, but it was nice to meet more of Scott's fam. There have been some distance issues in the past with his parents living in Texas, but now that they are in NC it should be easier to see everyone. Raleigh is still a 10 hour drive, but it's not too bad. Genius Hawkins was great on the trip, but began to do this mating ape noise in the car on the way home and has continued to do it intermittenly since. It's basically like, "oohoohoohoohoohoohooh" over and over again.

Alright. I'll have to post more later. I have a quiz today and this class is seriously kicking my ass. I would gladly take the last one I despised in place of this one. I didn't know it could get worse, but it does. Kindergardeners are not going to need to learn about coordinates and y axises and all this shit, so why do I have to learn it all. Ugh. I worked on my homework for 3 hours last night. Who has three hours to devote to math homework? Ugh. Will write more later, but wanted to post these pics.
