Haven't lost it

I was relieved to find out yesterday that I haven't lost the academic touch. I got the grade from my first graduate class yesterday and am walking away with an A, or 12 quality points. Now I haven't been able to boast a 4.0 for a very long time, and admittedly it's a bit of a stretch to claim it after one class. However, since my perspective on life is from the perch of the latter stages of my fifth decade, I am going to do all the bragging and celebrating that I can. Yay me!

Debut Day

Jayden Nicole Olsen arrived on Monday, May 4. She weighs 8lbs 2 oz, and is 19.5 inches long. Mom and baby are doing great. (More pictures to come.)

The scariest part was after her head was out, the doctor had to unwrap the cord from around her neck before he could deliver the rest of her. Her hands and feet were pretty blue for a while. But they ended up pinking up nicely.
