I'm Back... after a brief blogger vacation I have returned with not too much new to tell. From the title you may have guessed Brandon and I are both back to school. On September 3rd we started at Mount Saint Vincent University in the Bachelor of Education program which is a 2 year degree. Brandon wants to be a high school teacher and anyone that knows me knows that I'm all about elementary. We're excited to be starting this journey onto our future, but not so happy about not being able to work so much, but luckily it's only for two years. Right now I should be preparing for my presentation tomorrow but I just needed to say hello to my blogger friends... I've been enjoying everyones posts so much and I promise to start commenting again because I have been a bit of a slacker!

Since Brandon and I are both back in school we need to invest in a second laptop since we'll both be busy with journals and assignments. So this is a picture of my new baby... my macbook! I've had it for just over a week and have been loving every minute of programming it and personalizing it to all my needs!! We also have wireless Internet now, which i don't know how I lived without before... who ever invented that THANKS!!! What is also a lot of fun is that it has a program called photo booth on it so Brandon and I have been having a blast taking silly pictures of ourselves. This is one that I did by myself when I was trying it out, which turned out pretty fun!
Ever since Brandon and I have started school which has just been over a week I find myself looking at education so much differently. I look at TV programs for kids in a different way and find myself looking for the educational value in them. One I recently found is called Sid the Science Kid and it's on PBS Saturday mornings and I think it's GREAT! I think it's really important to introduce your children to science as soon as you can, get them interested and excited about the world around them... check out the show it's super cute!

I also need to give a big shout out to my big sister Kathy who finally announced that Baby Number 5 is on the way!!!! It's been killing me to keep the secret in, and I'm excited to share my excitement now. I love my nieces and nephews so much and I'm excited that there will be another little Nelson in their family to love, they have such adorable children that I'm excited to see this new addition... fingers crossed for a brother I think Jake needs one!!

Sarah Grace turned 6 this year, it's hard to believe that she is already 6, wow how time flies when you are having fun. Sarah is such a sweet and quiet little girl. She is very creative and very thoughtful always willing to help when I ask her to. She has the greatest smile and such beautiful curls and when is the best is her little giggle! We love that she is our niece so much and always treasure the time we get to spend with her! We were super excited to celebrate her birthday with her this year, here are a few pictures from her big birthday!!
Sarah showing off her new wii game High School Musical Sing-Along... Love it!!
Sarah and I were A+ Rock Stars!!!
This is just a shot of the little birthday tag that I created for Sarah's birthday... is said on the other side, we GROW more in love with you every year, Happy Birthday!
I also wanted to share the latest shot I have of sonja's little baby bump... just under three weeks until that little baby girl arrives and we get to meet her! I'm so excited for that. Sonja has been such a trooper through this pregnancy helping me in nursery and I want her to know just how much I appreciate her and her dedication to our little nursery class. It's great to have someone to depend on in there!!! Hope you guys are feeling better soon!!!
One last shot of the birthday girl in front of her cool door!

Well I suppose I should get back to this presentation, I hate that I have to present first with my partner Leanne...darn last name starting with B...hahha at least I get it over with early. Everyone keep me and my presentation in your prayers and wish me luck... Let's just hope it all makes sense!

One more thing to mention...One Tree Hill nights have started again for the season and I didn't realize how much I missed the weekly hangout times with my sisters and the yummy treats we always eat. Lesley and Nicole have joined us now and are a welcome addition to the OTH fan club. This season has not disappointed at all, were on episode three and its been amazing...are there any other OTH fans in our blogging family...let me know I always love to chat about the show. Hope you all have a good week and I hope to be posting more regularly from now on!

I love being in nursery and was sad to miss it...however didn't want to infect everyone with this lovely cold seeing as Ethan hasn't mastered covering his mouth when he coughs!! It's funny how much you notice in kids shows when it actually becomes important to you...I try to have Ethan watch good shows with at least a little educational value!
Thanks for the cute card you made for Halle today, she just loves "Sister Bing" and I'm so thankful she is liking nursery now! And, I have a Mac too and I love it! There are so many cool things it can do it's amazing! I need to watch that One Tree Hill you always talk about...it must be good! Have a good week at school!
I am sooo jealous...I really want a Mac. We bought a dell and then like a week later discovered our love for Mac. It was a sad day but we know better for next time :). BTW I totally wish I could be apart of your OTH nights!
Can't wait to come for a little OTH tonight.....this season is soooooo good!!!! Sounds like life is keeping you hopping. Love the new computer......I don't know if we are going for a desktop or a laptop model when we get ours. Not top of my list right now anyhow....glad you could come to Sarah's birthday......come play HSM anytime.....it's soooo much fun.....PS tell Brandon that Georgia was pretending to talk to him on the phone today....I think she kept saying Ba.....it was cute!!! See you tonight!!
Good luck with your presentation! Can't wait for the day I can go back to school....
Oh, and your Cam pic is FINALLY in the mail!!
i am a oth fan. tho this season has been scary so far (psycho nanny, store robbers..etc). i dont like scary stuff. i am all about the love stories.
i love you new computer. i may be a tad jealous. we wont be seeing a new computer this year..well this semester atleast :(
So jealous of your new baby! I love Curtis' laptop and pine over it. How I wish it were mine. So great that you and Brandon are going into Education! Sounds like you will both be busy
Karen I am totally joining OTH night!!!!!

I have my own laptop too, albeit, a HP, but it still does the job. I have to say it's a great feeling when you have something of your own and you don't have to share it. I love our OTH nights and I can't wait to see Crazy Nanny get her just desserts, lol. Good luck with school and see you Monday night...I wonder what Laura is bringing for snacks?
I sure miss ya friend! I can't wait until I'm back in the blogging world from my own computer!! Sonja looks so small!! Lucky duck!
I love the new Macbook...and I'm extremely jealous! My laptop is almost 3 1/2 years old and its on its last legs I think. We'll see if it survives the Masters degree. I hope that school is going well for you and Brandon! I'm sure you guys will be so busy. Are you going through Roots withdrawal yet? I'm sure it must be weird to be there for like 10 hours a week as opposed to 40. Hopefully you'll have some time to get over to Kathy's and play HSM hahaha...when I saw that picture the first thing I thought was "Karen will LOVE that".
