Lazy Weekend
We had a much-needed lazy weekend this weekend. We were able to spend lots of time outside with Jackson, and let him enjoy this beautiful weather! He's into watching all the bugs, lizards, birds, and was thrilled he was able to get pretty close to a rabbit today. He's been helping me with the yard work lately as he drives his power wheel around and throws sticks into the back of it so he can later dump them in the backyard. He also is very helpful watering the flowers, or picking weeds out of the flower beds. It's so exciting to watch him learn new things, and demonstrate his independence.
Hopefully we'll have some new pics to add later this week. I finish up with final exams this week so we'll be able to get out and do more as soon as exams are behind me. Say a prayer for these finals. This has been my hardest semester yet, so I'm praying the finals go smoothly.

Washing the car with a 2 year old...
I wish I had pictures to go with this post, but unfortunately my camera was dead when I needed it the most today! Jackson and I decided we would wash the car today. I thought he'd have a great time getting dirty with mommy today, and boy was I right! He had a blast being in control of the water hose today, and the one corner of my car that he was in charge of was washed at least 10 times, so it's clean! I don't think there was a dry spot on me or him once we were finished, and it took his mind off of his new John Deere tractor for at least 30 minutes. These days that's an accomplishment! What a day!
In other news...I'm finishing up another semester of grad school. I have finally finished all 3 of my papers for this semester, and now I'm in the process of studying for finals next week. I will have a couple weeks of a break before summer session starts which is very much needed right now! Donald has been so wonderful about helping out around the house so that I have all the time I need to take care of everything I need to get accomplished to finish up the semester. I have truly been blessed with an amazing husband!
Well it's off to study some more for final exams. Say a prayer for me during this time as I could really use it! This has been the hardest semester of classes I have ever had, and I've wondered at times if I'd make it through, but I have, and I'm glad to say I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

For some time now I've wanted to create a family blog to keep everyone informed about what's happening at the Irwins. I hope you enjoy seeing a snapshot of our life, and I look forward to my friends and family blogging to keep us updated on their life as well. Wish me luck in this endeavor!
