We're Back!




















































It's been awhile since I've posted...life has been pretty crazy around here. I have been working many hours up at William Jewell, helping the seniors get prepared for the N-Clex examination that many of them will take later this month or early in June. It has been very stressful trying to balance home and work, and I am so grateful for all of our friends and family who have been so willing to help out as I am away from home more than usual.
Aaron came out a week ago to play with the kids while I worked, and he got to participate in one of Connor's class field trips. The class went and visited the fire station...here are some pictures (I am amazed that in between juggling Kylee and trying to keep up with Connor that he had time to snap these--way to go, Grandpa!). The kids loved having "Carlson Grandpa" (Connor's name for him) here. They also had fun enjoying a picnic in the rain!

My Grandpa paid us a visit last week, too. He was in town to see his lawyer to try to settle his case outside of court. For those of you who don't know, Grandpa has been involved in a lawsuit with a gentleman who purchased his business four years ago, and then decided to stop making payments (enter in the lawsuit). We were so thankful and excited that the case was settled while Grandpa was here, and he is supposed to begin receiving payments again in July after a two-year dry spell and lots of lawyer fees. Thanks to all of you who have offerred your prayers!

William Jewell's graduation is this weekend, and then I will begin gearing up for the summer bunch of students that I will have in Health Assessment on May 18th. Prior to that, we look forward to celebrating Brandon's 30th birthday together on May 11th!!

Grandpa also sent some more pictures of the snowy Easter egg hunt I referrred to in an earlier post, as well as some pics of the kids decorating Easter eggs. Enjoy!
