Back in School

I have been so blessed to have had the opportunity to stay home full time with my babies! I wouldn't have wanted it any other way! I have loved it! My plan was to go back to my love of Nursing someday...well the time has come and I am ready to do something for ME! For the past few months I have been in a RN refresher course...required since I haven't worked in 5 years. I had class on Wednesday's and weekend Clinical! I have loved it! I absolutely LOVE being a nurse! My clinical's have been on a Renal Oncology unit...I went in with a very opened mind...and although have really enjoyed it, have realized I miss working with Babies! Spent this past weekend, my last, in Labor and Delivery/Nursery...So plan on going back to what I have always done and loved...

I am so glad I did it! I feel like I dusted off many of the cobwebs in my little brain...and found I did remember a lot! I was really nervous at first...but have loved the challenge. Peter and the kids have been so supportive of my decision! They have had tons of fun together on the weekends I have been at clinical! And I have returned home full filled and happy! The best part was how happy the kids (and Peter) were to see me! They did miss me!

I have now been looking for something in Georgia! Stay Tuned...I'll keep you posted on what I find!

Were Moving...

This past weekend we were in Atlanta House hunting! CRAZY!! A few weeks ago Peter got a call and request from his prior company asking if he would consider returning to Atlanta! WHAT?! Bittersweet... Our move to D.C. was never permanent...but we thought it was definitely going to be longer than is was! The state of the economy helped make our decision much easier! I have been really sad about leaving this fabulous city! The kids, Peter and I have enjoyed living here so much!!! I am so glad we did it! I have the best friends in the world in Atlanta and have loved living there...so that will make the move easier...but I will miss D.C. SO MUCH!

Above are some of the things I have missed in Atlanta!! Our wonderful friends! Seeing the joy in all the kids eyes was priceless! We had so much fun with our short visit with them!

We had luck house hunting! I have fallen in love with older house's...our D.C. house was built in 1936! We found and feel in love with a fabulous house...and made an offer! It's older and needs work...but we really like it! I'll keep you posted!

Muffins with Mom

I spent the after noon with this handsome little boy! What fun! After enjoying some delicious Muffins....we were showered with wonderful handmade (absolutely priceless) gifts! My favorite was a card created by Zach with a letter inside:

My Mother's name is Sandy and she is pretty. Her favorite colors are blue and orange and her favorite foods are chicken,rice, and beans. She likes to play with me and likes when I do silly things. She is unhappy when I am being mean. She laughs when I am being silly. Happy Mother's day. Love, Zach

Go Pumas!

Mady has been taking recreational cheering! She is loving it!!! They had their first competition today! The girls were great!! They came in 2nd place! Go Pumas!

No School=Fun Day!

The kids didn't have school today! We headed to open gym for lots of fun!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!
