my curse....

one of the only things that has ever made being productive difficult for me is procrastination. i am a very talented, seasoned procrastinator. tomorrow always seems like a better day to do something i really don't want to do, like: graduate college. i was getting so motivated right before Channing was born and i had about a week left of work to do on my LAST college independent study class, ironically, human development, and i was going to get it done. well, channing came two days later...hence, i didn't finish it. with all the hooplah of channing coming, hospital stays, moving, etc....i got a 3 month extension...i've now had the class for 15 months....and of course, i wait to finish it the last week of my extension. except now, it's either i get it done, or i have to start over. if that happens...i'm perfectly fine not getting my degree....but i'm thinking at some point, i'll probably just wish i'd sucked it up and finished this stupid class this week. i have until monday, and everything just seems like so much more fun than studying for these tests: i have nieces and nephews visiting, summer, channing, being home with family and friends....HGTV...love having more than 15 channels...yeah.

so, again...i'm blogging instead of studying...but i'm going to do it, and get done with this wretched class. wish me luck!

photo shoot...:)

We had fun taking pictures of Channing with our friend, Ruth, the other night until about 12:30 am. he was such a good sport and we got some really cute pictures of him. we are by no means professionals, but we still had fun.

Channing is now 11 lbs. 3 oz, and 23 1/2 inches long. he is growing like crazy and his doctors are quite pleased. he's starting to fit into some 3 month clothes, now that he is officially over 3 months old!

Enjoy the pictures...:)

The many sides of Channing...

fuzzy side: sweater suit photo with Honey Bear

Honey Bear was named by my nephew, Bodhe, because Kevin wanted to call him Alfredo, and Bodhe came up with a much better name...:)
Not too sure about this enormous bear...

he'll be a country fan soon enough...
