Nathan 1st time on the bus for going to and coming home from school...

Today was Nathan's first day of riding the bus to school and home. After a week and half the bus driver finally got it right and picked him up today to take him to school. Nathan was happy to be able to take the bus because in arizona he did not get the bus...He has made friends and seems to be a little happier and doesnt say as much about going back to arizona but I know he still misses it.

Nathan's 1st snow day

Today was Nathan's first snow day and he is loving it that he doesnt have school because of to much snow. He thinks its cool that he gets to miss school because of this and is able to stay at home and play with his friends. I think he is starting to like it here but I also know that he still wants to be in arizona and I am reminded that almost every day. I hate to see that he is hurt because of this big decision and I hope it passes real soon and he will some day understand why I wanted to come back so badly.

Nathan's first day at his new school

Today was Nathan's first day at his new school in Michigan. He is attending Dekeyser elementary in sterling heights. When he came home and was asked how is day went he said he hates it and does not like me for making him move here and he wants to go back to arizona. He says he doesnt like it because he doesnt have any friends and misses his friends in arizona and he doesnt like that he doesnt have lunch at school like he did in arizona. I hope this passes by quickly and he starts liking school again.

This was the best christmas in a long time!!!

This christmas was so nice. Seeing all the cousins together and planning was one of the best parts about this christmas. The other best part was seeing the look on my papa and grandma's face seen us and then me telling them that we arent going back to arizona that we live here now, it was priceless....I love being back home and knowing that we wont miss anymore things puts a smile on my face everyday.

We made it!!!

Well it was a long and tiring trip but we made it finally. The kids and dogs where GREAT and good troopers. On our way we stopped at a few places and the kids enjoyed that. Nathan did good with his ear infection. Izabella and I played truck coloring game and who can find the most water towers. She didnt start trying to get out of her carseat and becoming crabby until like the last 6 to 10 hours of the trip. We are glad that the trip is done and over with.

Just what we need before heading out!

Last night Cheryk and James took the kids for the night so that we could pack up the truck and get ready to head out. Well I got a phone call from cheryk saying that nathan was complaining that his ear hurt and that she was giving him motrin for pain, but he isnt crabby and doesnt want to come home. I told cheryk its up to her and that I trust her judgement, so she said they want to keep the kids as planned. This morning I got a phone call from cheryk saying nathan's ear is now draining fluid but he is doing good. When they brought my babies home I took nathan up to urgent care because I wanted him to get checked out before heading out in the morning. The doctor had said that he had an ear infection and the worse is over now because the pressure had popped, just to give him antibodiacs and if needed motrin.

We are coming home

Well we are moving back home and I am so excited, I just hope that we are making the right decision and we arent doing this because I really want to be back home. But I keep looking at all the signs and I truely believe that god is having us go back home. This was a fun and great experience for us as individuals but also as a family and I would never wish to turn the clocks back and do things over again. Moving out to arizona was the best thing on us, we mate some wonderful people that became our family, are marriage grew stronger and our family grew stronger as a whole. If plans go right we will be leaving for michigan on the 13th of december and hopefully get there in time for christmas.
