Kellan made it through his first Stats test today.

We decided to try doing all of his classes online this summer and its been difficult to navigate through everything- deadlines, online office hours, how to turn things in, etc. Its a bit more confusing that it is face to face.

The last few assignments he really didn't understand and was having a hard time getting together with the teacher and tutors for some help. Finally, last night he was able to meet with the teacher who walked him through a few things and showed him where to find the test reveiw, which was all he needed.

This morning he took the test and felt good about it. I'm so grateful for the times when things work out for Kellan with school. He works so hard to do well and keep up even though he doesn't have as much time as he needs to spend on it. More often than not, he feels so discouraged and hopeless. Today it feels like everything is going to work out and maybe we really will graduate next summer.

I'm grateful for....

....leftovers. Which means tonight I don't have to decide what to make for dinner. As much as I love cooking, I hate figuring out what to make every night. Plus, there is a Relief Society "chewin' the cud" thing tonight, so I can just go without worrying what Kellan and the kids are going to eat.

Today I am grateful for a mom and dad who taught me to make tasty food.

There is nothing more satisfying that being able to create deliciousness from scratch. Growing up we never ate out anywhere. We didn't need to. Mom or Dad could make it better and cheaper with what was in our kitchen. I'm grateful they have passed that on to their children.

Now, about half the time my culinary experiments flop, but when they are successful its delightful!

That is an amazing blackberry pie which Kellan and I will be enjoying the remnants of in a moment. The crust turned out perfecto, bytheway.


And speaking of deliciousness....

Last Sunday a friend at church told me I have the most edible baby. I couldn't agree more!
