Owen update, garden, and stuff

Owen is doing MUCH better now! He's up and running and eating and playing and being a little troublemaker ;) His appetite has definitely come back and he's eating tons. Tonight for dinner he ate 4 pieces of pizza and 8 breadsticks/sauce!!!! That's a whole order of breadsticks and half the pizza! LOL! He's asking for food constantly (at least once an hour) and, of course, we give it to him. He goes to the dr tomorrow just as a little check-up after the hospital visit... I bet he's gained back all the lost weight for sure! (He was 41 lbs last Monday and 39 lbs 2 days later)

Here's the garden...

The first ripe tomatoes (Early Girl)! Almost ready... another day or two and then they'll be ready to pick!

Some of the cherry tomatoes

Cherry tomato plant

Cucumber plant that seems to be dying. Hmmmm....

Green bell pepper plant... lots of flowers, no peppers yet...

A couple Mr Stripey tomatoes

First yellow squash! Another day or two and it'll be ready to pick!

Another zucchini... we've eaten a few from the garden in the last couple weeks....

Green bell pepper.... almost ready!

I think this is the jalapeno plant. I'm still debating on whether to move it or not. The zucchini and yellow squash are overgrowing it. I was hoping it would grow bigger and above the squash leaves but I'm not so sure...

Purple bell pepper plant. It's having the same issues as the jalapeno.... trying to decide whether to move it or leave it....

Watermelon plant

In other news.... I will be starting college next month. I will be doing a program that is 2 years at a local community college and then moving on to 2 years at the University of Kentucky for teaching. I just got my financial aid info yesterday and I got enough grants to cover all tuition and all books/fees with some leftover to cover parking pass, gas to get there, and other little expenses. This is WAY more than I thought I would get. I was hoping to get enough to come close to covering tuition, I didn't imagine I'd get enough to cover EVERYTHING. This is great news because when I start classes I'll have to cut down on my hours at work. So.... guess I can't back down now ;) The plan is to take classes Tuesday and Thursday between 8 and 1:45 (which is 4 classes) so I can drop Owen off at school (7:45) and pick him up (2:30). I am also going to try to take a class on Monday evenings. I will hopefully be working Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 8 (or 8:30) to 2. I may also work Tuesday and Thursday from 3-6, but I am not sure.
