Long time, no blog; an update on the last month's events

Please forgive me in taking so long to post again. You see, I went back to work on August 4th, and it has been pretty taxing. LeMar is working the midnight shift at work (8p-7a), Alyssa goes to daycare from 7a-4p-ish, and I work 0730-1630. We really just see each other in passing. When he isn't working, LeMar takes care of Alyssa at home. I love that they get to spend so much time together. She is quite the handful right now; yesterday he pretty much had to hold her the ENTIRE day. As soon as she was set down she would start to whine. However, our most exciting news: ALYSSA SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT LAST NIGHT!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!

I'm taking too classes online this semester; please pray for me that I may juggle everything. I would hate to spoil my 4.0. Work is going great; I have moved to the micro[biology] lab group, and I'm doing a really cool project with a bacteriocin (look it up if you care).

We had a fellowship night with our Sunday school class last night. I had a blast, and I would like to say that the women ROCK at Battle of the Sexes. Of course the men say the questions are rigged in our favor, and honestly there were a bunch of their questions that I didn't know either.

LeMar goes back to work tonight. He is really enjoying his job. He passed his check ride on July 21st, so since then he has been working on his own. It has brought him a lot of relief not having someone observing and critiquing his every move while on duty. It's also nice because he has more room in the car to take along food and all of the incidental gear he might need while working.

Now for some pictures:
