Well, block week has started again, after a half terrible biochem quiz, the first part went really well... the last part, well hopefully it was better than I think. I cannot understand how they want 8 of us to share a paper, I understand they want us to talk, but really 8 people sharing a paper that we are getting quizzed on immediately afterward seems crazy. I read it twice, but I just need longer with anything with lots of science in it to be able to discuss the information contained therein.
After this, I drove home, got Alice packed, and ready to go, and she and Kasi drove off to Lexington. Alice is having her first sleep over tonight, hopefully I can get some sleep and replenish the glutamate in my neurons (maybe I have learned something in neuro after all). I'm taking a bit of a break from school stuff tonight, though I'll probably do a little bit more later, but UK is about to play, so of course I must watch! I'm also going to try to sew together some old wool sweaters that I got at the thrift store and cut up, into a wool mattress pad... something is coming on Monday, I hope that will need it....

My Child, The Daredevil
Well this week Alice, Kasi (our nanny and a forever long friend) and I traveled to Florida to see one of our dear friends, Laura, and her family. Laura and I have been friends since we were in 4th grade, we met at church, and we have spent every spring break since 6th grade together, the only one we missed was last year, since I was way too pregnant to take a 12 hr road trip to see her. She came to see us in May instead :D
The weather down here has been absolutely gorgeous, it has been at least 70 and sunny every day, which is wonderful after the gloomy cold wet of Kentucky.
Since we have been here, Alice has nosedived off the bed (on purpose, she was aiming for my back, but hit the floor instead, she is fine though), antagonized our Friends' new puppy, Fritz. Fritz and Alice are quickly becoming friends though since Alice feels the puppy needs to try all of her food out.
We have gone to the beach every day except for one that we were here, and I've even been able to get some studying done. While at the beach Alice chases after every dog she sees, she spider crawls after them, by spider crawling I mean she doesn't put her knees on the ground, she is very efficient at this. She also barks at all of the dogs, and tries to catch the seagulls, and the birds that run really fast, sandpipers, maybe? The child also apparently loves the taste of sand, every time I turn my eyes for a second she has stuffed another handful into her mouth. Earlier today she was sucking on a shell, like it was a lollipop.
I worked on some biochem and Alice and Kasi dug some holes in the sand, Alice loves this activity, more chances for sand consumption! She also loves crawling for the ocean, and the second she sees the waves coming for her she sits down, and lets them just wash over here, I thought she would be scared of the water, not Alice though, she has no fear, she loves the water!

| Alice would like to share |
 |
| Alice became very attached to this shell, we brought it home to show to Daddy, she held onto it throughout a submersion and getting carried to the car |
 |
| I love her so much! |
 |
| The wonderful Kasi! |
 |
| Alice with her Laura! |
 |
| She is extremely content in a pool of ice cold water, she was not happy to get taken out, even though she was shivering |
 |
| Eating sand in the back yard, with Fritz! |
 |
| What should I do with this shell? |
 | |
| Eat it! |
