What's up at the Nelson home these days...

It's here.. The end of the summer. The last week of freedom for my children before they return to the task of schooling. It has been a great summer for us. We have had many adventures and road trips.
We got out and did some back to school shopping the last few weeks and I can not believe how much Emeline and Micah has grown. Emeline has gotten so tall she has almost jumped two pant sizes in the last 3 months.. yowza! We found what they needed and all in all spent surprisingly little. (I love clearance and yard sales)
Just a little change in our lives. Trent and I are both taking classes this semester at the University.With Hannah being born so early Trent never finished the few classes he had left for graduation. The HUGE bonus is that now he can take those classes at an amazing price of 5 dollars a credit.. I mean we would be nuts not to advantage of that! Trent will be taking one class and his boss is more than excited to let him break away from work and hour three days a week to do it.
With all this happening I had a huge impression that I needed to see what I needed to do to finish up my degree as well. It turns out that taking about 6 credits a semester will get me my degree in 3 years... so I am going for it! This semester I am taking 2 on line classes. I have made arrangements to trade care with another friend that is also returning to school that happens to live right next door. It is really working out.. oh and I get to attend classes for the same rate as Trent.. did I mention that? Awesome, I know!
Life may get a bit nuts at times around here but I know what we are doing is so important that it will all work out.
I will update with back to school pics in a week.. til then later alligator!
