This Week

Anton had his first day of dental school on Monday. He left at 6:30 am and I didn't see him again until about 8:00 pm. So goes the life of a dental student. He is taking an intense gross anatomy course for the next 5 weeks, then he will start his fall term. He has been cutting into a cadaver(sp?). His group named it Bernie. It has been hard not having Anton with me during the day to help out with Madilyn, but so far so good. Madilyn is becoming very stubborn and strong willed. She can be very happy one second and the next she is throwing a tantrum. So for any of you out there wondering when the next ellinger/conklin baby will be coming, don't hold your breath. According to my clock it won't be happening for awhile. I will say that most the time Madilyn is very sweet and fun, but she sure can turn on you quick fast :)  Lately her thing has been shoes and purses (just like her mommy!) She goes the pile of shoes by the door and finds a matching pair and carries them around. She also loves purses. I cannot go through the purse section of any store without her throwing a fit. She loves to walk around with them. We move this saturday. This will probably be the last post for a little while, since we won't have internet again for a couple of weeks. All in all life is good!

I'm so sorry that Anton will be gone all the time! It's such a bummer, but will be worth it. Call me if you ever want to meet at the zoo or to hang out so you're not soo lonely!

You'll get used to the time "alone" until close to the end and then you'll go crazy. Good luck!

Hey guys! How did the move go? I double checked with my mom about this weekend, and she said that is fine. We are super excited to see you guys again. Take care.

So Madilyn is a fashonista? Are any of us really suprised? I wonder where she got her quick attitude change? Probably Anton. ;) As for hanging out all day by yourself, just think about next year when you can hang out with me all day (aren't you excited?). I can't wait to see the apartments you picked out for us. We'll see you guys in about a month.
