Today was the first day of Marcos' last semester...he will graduate in May with a degree in Biology with an emphasis in Physiology and Anatomy, and I am so excited for him! :)

I must give him a pat on the back for last semester. Guy got straight A's. All things considered, it was probably the most difficult semester in his school career thus far...

...We had Mason a week before his semester started in Fall, and that first month or so was killer. I was still healing from my c-section, Marcos was trying to get adjusted to his hardcore biology classes and heavy workload, we were both adjusting to becoming parents and learning how to take care of a screaming newborn, we were still writing essays for medical school secondary applications, he went out of town several times for interviews at different medical schools (leaving me with the newborn) often having to miss classes, all while still trying to keep up with his studies.......

::whew:: Can you tell I'm relieved that last semester is over?! Very special thanks to all our friends and family who helped us survive last semester. We could not have done it all without you. I'm so proud of my Marcos for all his hard work and know he'll do great this semester as well!

Ha Ha- you probably figured this out already, but that comment from Jensine Kinser was actually from me- I guess I was on my sis-in-law's computer at the time and didn't notice my user name
