Moving day…

On Saturday, we moved Nate back to studio for semester #2. While Nate did all of the heavy lifting up to the 7th floor of Avery Hall, Miles made himself at home.

Uh oh… you caught me!

Nate got his first choice - again!!

Thanks to all for your thoughts and prayers. This semester's tuition promises to be money well spent! Nate got his first choice for studio instructor again!!

Nate's studio assignments are given through a lottery type system.
Yeah for Joshua Prince-Ramus :)~

If Nate comes home crying and has thoughts of changing his career direction, then JPR has done his job! Nate will surely be a better architect because of it!

10.5 months and counting

So… it’s been nearly a year and we just now bought a high chair! I know, we’re a little behind! We thought that we could do without one (especially since our space is so limited), but as Miles is learning to feed himself foods like spaghetti, we’ve quickly realized a large tray with a rim would be very handy! The carpet under the ‘hook-on’ seat has seen better days.

Also, this weekend, Miles honed in on his walking skills. He’s turning corners like an erratic NASCAR driver. Like those drivers, there’s an occasional serious crash – lucky for us – this one didn’t result in stitches. However, the damages just about totaled Miles’ face.

I couldn’t get a good picture to pick up the detail, but there’s a perfectly straight, vertical, bruised line on Miles’ cheek from a corner of the wall. Just after Miles rounded his second corner, he lost control and tried to catch his balance using only his face… Boys have no fear! I look like such a bad mother!

Other than that – today was Miles’ first full day in the ‘big boy’ room at daycare. He did very well. Since his new room is all boys and one little girl, they’ve themed the room to be Snow White and the seven dwarfs. You guessed it– Little Milos is Dopey! I don’t think any other dwarf would have fit him so well! Ahh.. My little man is growing up.

Oh.. and today was Nate’s first day back for his 2nd semester at Columbia! Tomorrow is the lottery for studio assignments – we could really use your prayers to help Nate get his first choice. We’d love to acquire all of the networking power and education we can get out of this ivy league tuition!
