Our summer week #4 was definitely fun for Landon, but not for me. Last summer I was selected to join a K-3 Primarily Math Cohort through the University of Nebraska; however, they asked me to wait a summer so that I could attend in Grand Island rather than Lincoln. This program received a 9 million dollar grant and my cohort is the last cohort that ALL expenses will be paid for us. Tuition, books, food, etc are all included which is so worth it. It's an 18 credit hour program but it is broken up into 2 summers, the fall and spring. This summer I have class for 2 weeks in a row and the only bad thing is it is VERY intense. We meet everyday from 8-5 (my body/baby is definitely not used to sitting that long), then I stay there and work on homework for about 2 hours, come home around 7:00-7:30, eat supper and work on homework for at least another hour. However, I survived my first week so I think I can do this! I'm just glad I have some awesome friends I'm taking it with.
The first week of class my parents offered to take Landon so that I could focus on class and could rest in the evenings. The first night after class I had an emotional breakdown as I was extremely tired and missed my little man. Plus the house was way too quiet. However, I am glad he was getting lots of extra love and attention at Grandma and Papa's house. Kurtis and I were even able to sneak in a date night to Wasabi one night when my homework load was light. This next week my brother is going to watch him so he'll be home in the evenings. It will definitely be a juggling act this next week. Thank goodness for a wonderful husband.

It was nice that my mom sent me pictures of him throughout the week. He was so happy while he was there and he was able to do lots of fun things. The skinny dipping picture in the pool was my favorite!
My mom also took him to the Sternberg Museum in Hays where he was able to see lots of animals and of course the dinosaurs!
