Today we went to Culver's after the girls got their first shots ever. They each got a DTaP (just one shot). The ladies at the clinic were very flexible and non-judgmental about Nate and I's decision to put the girls on a delayed/extended schedule. I appreciated it so much. Anyway, we went to Culver's afterward (my mom went with me to help) and Mazie and Freya each got some ice cream ... a very special treat around here! Mazie had a particularly difficult time while getting the shot (she was freaked out beyond all measure), but recovered quickly and then thanked the nurse. Haha. "Thank you for my shot." It was cute. 

Whoa, mama. I look sleepy. 

NATE PASSED HIS COMP EXAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never had any doubt ... I'm so happy for him!! His portfolio is due on Friday and then he is almost done. I can't even believe it.

Also, I'm going to be on a panel (along with my friends Sarah and Lisa) during the sermon(s) on Sunday talking about women and fear. I'm really nervous and feeling insecure. I guess I can discuss that fear! I don't quite look pregnant, but my pants are tight and I feel awkward. I keep reminding myself to not be such a whiner. I wouldn't have even considered doing something like two years ago and my spirit of gratitude and humility should override my apprehension about being up front. Old habits die hard!!
