My newest adventure

Last week I began to volunteer at the American Cancer Society. I am called a volunteer but it is more like a part-time internship. I am going in twice a week in the mornings to gain some experience as a Community Health Educator. Let me say, it feels SO good to do something again. This is what I have been waiting to do ever since I began graduate school. They have given me some projects to work so I am very excited to follow them through. During the mornings when I am at the ACS, Braden and Reese are going to the same center I used to take Braden to when I worked full-time. They are adjusting nicely. The first week went a little better for Reese than Braden but today Braden was all smiles when I picked him up. He even said that he would like to go back there!

Sledding

We don't get much snow in Baltimore and when we do (2 inches or less), everything shuts down. This morning we had a tiny coating and everything was delayed 2 hours! When we first moved to Baltimore, I was a little surprised by the panic created from a mere few inches of snow but I am getting used to it.

I did get to pull the kids around in their sled day about 2 weeks ago. My kind neighbor took some pictures for me since our camera needs a new battery. (Please note that you can still see the grass!)

Big surprise, Braden would not smile.
