Well it has been a week since my last blog! We had a very busy week with various church commitments, running (yes I finally got out there again! I've really missed it), getting my passport (thank you Andy for waiting 3 & a half hours), and we had my in laws over this weekend. It has also been busy trying to get things done before going back to work. Yes this is the official week that I go back to teaching & my stay at home mom days are finished. I will be doing mostly prep work for my classes since this is exam week and my first day with students will be next Monday. So it is a nice way to gradually get back into the swing of things. However it is going to bring major transition to our little family. This picture was taken before Christmas and it was Andy's pick for our Christmas card! I ended up picking a different one but looking back this one is quite beautiful with the snow. It was the first major snowfall of the year and the reality of many more snow days to come hadn't hit us yet:) Today was a beautiful sunny day and I am ready for the change in weather! So change is on its way . . . the biggest change will be for my little Gabriella. She will be 19 months in a few days and the adjustment will be hardest for her (well it will be hard on me too!!) She is so resilient and has such an outgoing personality that I think she will be just fine. She will be hanging out with a little friend who we call Baby Callysta so that Brie won't get too confused since she already has a sister with that name! So she is going for the morning tomorrow and I am trying to just trust God . . . He is in control of it all and knows best. So say a little prayer for our family this week if you get a moment. Many have said that once we get into the routine it will be fine. I ran into some students last week and they were so excited to have me back so I know that I have a purpose at that school. I can't believe how fast the time has gone! But God is faithful and I believe this is yet another opportunity for me to trust Him . . . with what I hold so dear my family. He has given me such an amazing family and for that I am grateful. May you all have a great week filled with many blessings:)

Suzette,
I saw the link to your blog from Nelia. It is great to see your family and how you are all doing so well. You have a beautiful family and it is hard to realize how much time has truly passed. Brie and Cally are so cute! I'll be praying for you as you head back to work.

Hi Suzette,
No we don't have a blog, but Paul and I are doing well. We just got back from vacation at Silverstar Ski Resort...had some R&R with our Home group up there, and of course, skiing. It would be good to see you sometime.

Hi Suzette... it will be hard at first, but like you said, the kids will do fine, and I am sure you will have them with someone who loves. You love teaching and are so awesome at it... like you said too, there's a purpose for you at that school. We'll be praying for your family during this transition.
