A Record Set

We did it... after a long 3 weeks of "cleansing", we managed to stay away from the doctor's office! A record for the Hawkins family. Karlee has been on the mend and doing well. We do go back for a followup appointment tomorrow with the specialist, but thank goodness it's only that. We are seeing runny noises again, but I will take that! I can only guess that the extreme weather patterns here in the south are to blame... it was 38 degrees last night but will be 80 again by Friday.
We survived Spring Break.. barely! Jalen and I spent some alone time while the little ones were at daycare. We saw the Dr. Suess's Horton Hears a Who movie and the week didn't go by without a visit to San Jose for some cheese dip and taco's! The past few weekends have been filled with yard work and playing outside. Brandon's new obsession this week is finding "holy polies" in the yard with his friend Emma. I guess "Holy" sounds better than "Roly"..... whatever works. I have even found several of his little friends around the house... on the counter and kitchen table. I definitely draw the line there! No critters in the house. But he insists that they are not bugs. Another battle lost!
The big news in the family is that John has decided it is time for a drastic change in life.. He has enrolled in the Masters of Business Admin program with the University of Phoenix. The carpet industry will soon be seeing the end of John's talents. The courses will be online and should take approximately 18 months to finish. Until then, please keep this direction that God has laid on John's heart in your prayers. This will definitely be a challenging time for all of us as we seek His wisdom and guidance for our family and future. We are unsure of what lies ahead, but we know that this is a huge step and leap of faith to completely change the direction of John's career, emotionally, physically, and financially.

We have a busy weekend ahead... Spring Carnival at school, birthday celebration for Angela, and nursery service at church. That's all for this week.... Love to all!
