Leaving the Hospital

Avery or Riley?

Avery or Riley?

It's a Girl!

Riley Elizabeth Olson was born Monday, 9/24. She weighed in at 7lbs. 13oz. and she's 20" tall. She gorgeous, of course...and I think she looks a lot like Avery as a newborn. Jenni had an appt. to get induced Monday morning. They started the IV Pitocin at 9:45am and Riley headed on out at 12:18pm, everything happend fast. We came home from the hospital today, around 3pm...which is nice, the chairs at home are far more comfortable than the hospital variety.

New field and first win for the Eagles

Last night we went to the ribbon cutting of the brand new football field at Harker. It is pretty unbelievable that this field was just an idea only a year ago and now it is here, finished and beautiful. It was so nice to go to a home game at Harker. Both the soccer team and the football team won so hopefully the field will continue to bring good luck.

Wait Listed

As most know, I began my college career as a Nursing major. I left Biola and the nursing program in the Fall of 1998. I completed my degree in Kinesiology at CSU Sacramento, but never really knew what I wanted to do with it. I was directed into teaching, which I have enjoyed for the past 5 years, but have always felt a twinge of regret not finishing my nursing degree, especially after giving birth to Avery and feeling like labor and delivery nursing was what I really wanted to be doing. Now that I am a stay at home mom, I have been pondering what it is I want to do when I go back to work after the kids are ready for school. I decided to act on my growing desire to go back and complete my nursing degree. I applied to Cabrillo College's Nursing Program. I received a letter of acceptance today and now the wait begins. I knew when I applied that the wait list was 2-3 years long. That should be perfect timing for me and the kiddies. Avery will be starting Kindergarten and the other one will be ready for preschool. Hopefully, it will not be that long of a wait...I will receive a wait list statement and my placement in October. I am excited to see what happens in the future!

Giants Game

Last Sunday Jaron and Avery headed up to SF to meet Grams and Papa for a Giants Game. They took the train and then enjoyed a good game...Giants won!
