A new week

The University of Florida sent a letter: Chris is in :)
It seems like we heard from a law school every day last week! If this week could be the same, we'd like that too. (Ahem BYU, Baylor--hope you're listening...)

Without pictures, I feel like I have nothing to say! Isn't that funny? Let me think a little deeper...and google some pictures for you.

Oh yes! Saturday was Wildwood Catholic day and we drove up to NJ to see the last (possibly, if WCHS will close) basketball games vs. Wildwood High, our rivals. Both WCHS girls and boys won--excellent games! The gym was packed with people and loud with cheers, just the way it should be. We had Sam's for lunch before the game, so the day was perfect. Go Crusaders!

We've been looking around at baby things...well, things we don't already have, such as a double stroller. Do we want a side-to-side model, or a front-to-back model, like this stroller here?

There are some models we like, but we'll do some more research as we go along.
We're also looking at new bedding for Kate's crib. I'd love another sea-themed set, maybe something with purples and greens: (Sea Aquarium set)

since Lizzie's set is primarily reds and yellows. My parents are graciously giving us the Jett bassinet for little Kate to use during her first couple months, so I guess we'll need to find some bassinet accessories too! Oh how I love baby shopping :)

We've also been researching more law school-related issues, like health issurance. The prices for students (Chris) are reasonable, but everything doubles (or even triples, in some cases) for a spouse, and that's NOT including children! Sheesh! One would think it's encouraged to be single and to forget about a family when you go for graduate degrees. That won't deter us though!

I can't believe it's the first day of March! Here's to hoping spring comes quickly :)

Congrats to Chris!!! We're excited for you!

And as for strollers-- we finally just bought ourselves one and we go the Baby Trend Sit-N-Stand double Sonic stroller. We've loved it so far-- great for shopping and walking to the park. Good luck on the hunt for a stroller :)

I feel you on the health insurance thing...we found almost the same plan through the same company Evan's school offers for much cheaper...the "student" plan was a joke. Good luck with that also a side by side stroller seems easier to move around, but what do i know?

We had student insurance for a semester and paid 2000 for NOTHING until I was able to get it through work. My mother in law told me when her twins were little she learned that the front/back stroller was much nicer for getting through the checkout at the grocery store and stuff like that. A double wouldn't fit. Just a thought. Congrats to Chris! We miss you guys!
