Playtime at Wymount

Our last semester at BYU was rolling along smoothly. Living in married student housing has its perks! Whether it was sunny or snowy there was always someone who wanted to play at the park which was just outside our door. Lucky for me, Daniel hasn't had much studying to do these days. Once he read all the assignments he was able to spend the rest of the day with me and little Livvie mostly playing outside.

Another BYU married housing benefit was treasures that were left behind such as this little red car.

 A less obvious toy was the small lid to our spray bottle. Livvy Lou liked to pop it off and then click it back on. 

Of course, if she had to choose between a bottle top and a donut, she would choose the donut dad brought home from school! 

I still remember the first time Olivia got sick. Daniel didn't have a cell phone, but he did have a pager.  I paged him when his classes were over and he came right home. True to Livvies sweet baby nature she just wanted to be held all day and wasn't very fussy.

It was also easy to meet with other moms who were interested in making simple Quiet Toys for sacrament meeting. The best toy I made was a royal family of finger puppets. 

He still had a lot of things to study in preparation for the patent bar. We were not too surprised to learn that Daniel did get a job at Hickman Palermo Truong and Becker which is where he interned the previous summer.  His salary was a whopping 6 figures!  We were not sure what we were going to do with so much money, but we quickly learned about taxes and health insurance. ha!
