Lets start with Carson. He is in the middle of his research right now, trying to get all his data collected. It's a little slow going because he has to have student participation and there aren't that many people willing to participate. So once he has found 75 participants he will be able to move on and finish his thesis and graduate. He has some great industry contacts which should help with the job hunt when it comes time. He has also started his own photography business which has been really exciting.
Me, well I have been home taking care of my husband, puppy, and house. I have been doing tons of research on how to improve the health of our family. We have cut processed foods from our diets, tried to buy organic or local when possible, used chemical free-homemade cleaners and have even changed the toiletry items that we use. I have been encouraged to start a healthy living blog and as soon as I can come up with a name for it I will begin posting to it (suggestions welcome). It would be a great way to share the information I am collecting and to keep me accountable. I have really enjoyed making this change and am excited about the long term effects that it will have on our family, as well as the health problems that our children will be able to avoid because of it.
Our most exciting news right now is that we have a new addition to our family! We got a 9 week old black lab recently so life has been anything but dull here. Her name is Rylie and she is just as precious as she can be! My parents got her brother, Baxter so it will be fun to get them together often. For more pictures of Rylie (Purple collar), Baxter (blue) and Ginny (pink), follow this link.
Well I guess that wasn't too bad. I will do my best to keep you updated from here!
