Gloversville, NY

I'm sitting here on the humid back porch in Gloversville, New York. For those of you who haven't been here before, it's a quaint little town with not too much to do. This is a good thing for someone like me who is looking for some peace and quiet and a lot of study time. I'm studying for my RN boards (third times a charm)! Some days I feel really smart and others I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing trying to get into this field.

Gloversville is home to David's great aunt, Dr. Joan Christie and her companion and confidant, Christine Kennedy, RN. I couldn't be in a better place to study the medical profession with a doctor and nurse in the household. Their level of knowledge amazes me and I only hope to be as smart as them one day.

Peyton and Xander are in this lovely, quaint victorian home with me. Peyton finally has a yard and an amazing garden to play in. This interprets into fighting ferocious enemies, getting lost and finding his way out of the jungle or hunting in the wilderness with the Indian nations. I love watching his imagination at work. There's a swimming pool here as well, unfortunately it's all ready to get some action but the weather is not coorperating. I guess fighing the deadly seas will have to wait for another day...there's shark's in there you know! Correction...we had a few moments of splendor before the weather didn't cooperate...he fought the great fight!

Xander on the other hand is experiencing a different type of adventure. He has found his feet! He is becoming so much more in tune with his surroundings. It's a whole new world out there and I find myself getting excited for him as he figures out new and different things. I seriously think this kid is teething, he's just about got his whole fist in his mouth and drool is everywhere. He doesn't like the taste of Orajel, but he sure does like the affects!
