A New Adventure??

Monday morning I went and registered for more classes at NGTC.  Yep, I'm going to finish my RN.  I'm scared to death.  There are so many stipulations and rules...like, before you can even officially enter the program, you have to have at least a 3.0 in all of your core classes.  That means a B in MicroBiology???  Also, I have to take a "nurse's SAT" and pass that before I can proceed. 

Anyway, I'm starting off simple enough: MicroComputers and Psychology.  Well, I hope anyway.

Candy, Candy, EVERYWHERE!!!

A couple of weeks ago, Dad invited all of us to his company's annual Easter Carnival.  So...yesterday, we set off for Cleveland to head towards Mars.  They had a ton of games to play, a bunny train to ride, and best of all, lots and lots and lots of CANDY to eat!

After the Carnival, we all went back to Christy's house to have dinner and play!  Christy's house backs up to a field of horses and the girls were able to feed the horses a huge bowl of apples and a bag full of carrots!  They loved it!  Afterwards, we played ball, threw a football, drew with chalk, hunted some eggs....needless to say, by the end of the day, the girls were exhausted! 

I do know that every little bit we learn about Dad, and even Christy, just makes them both easier to love.  They have been such a blessing....and now, I can't imagine life without them!

WOW.

Saturday, Dad invited all of us to a picnic at Coolidge Park.  Some of his good friends were going to be there and we were all excited to get to finally meet each other.  Hannah and Halle ran dad to death.....he seemed to love every minute of it!  According to the girls, Papaw is a lot of fun!  : )

Evidently, Papaw is a big UT fan.....  And if it is good enough for Papaw, then Hannah is all too willing!

Yesterday, Dad and Christy came to the house and we played in the yard with the kiddos and had dinner together.  It has been nice to really get to know one another.  VERY amazing weekend...lots of fun.....MANY more to come!!!  Wow.

Happy Birthday Halle!

Sunday afternoon the whole Tinker clan met at Chuck E Cheese for Halle's 3rd birthday party.  I love getting a bunch of the family together...I feel sometimes that we all don't spend quite enough time together!  Anyway, the kids had a blast and most importantly, Halle seemed to have a very happy birthday!  It was a special day, not only for Halle, but for Hannah and I also.  It will forever be remembered  : )
