Happy Easter---- a little late

This post is a little late, but last week was busy.
A little backround information: My parents were kind enough to take in our canine kids when we moved the Nashville. We initially moved into a 2 bedroom apartment and although they allowed dogs, it was a little tight with 3 people and 2 large dogs. So, in September we dropped them off at the grandparents for an extended stay. We were very anxious to get them back now that we have a little more room for them. We knew if we didn't get there soon we wouldn't get there at all. At Easter I was 35 weeks pregnant and my OBGYN didn't recommend traveling after that.
So, we headed to Macon, Georgia for Easter this year. We left Nashville after work Thursday evening. The Medical Center of Central Georgia in Macon has a contract with Cogent Healthcare. So, Matt had arranged for a site visit that Friday. He worked Friday morning and learned more about the program while mom, Ella Catherine and I shopped. (seemed like a fair trade :))Then we all met up for lunch with Dad, Becky, Kelly and Cori at Keith's new restaurant, The Nowhere Cafe. I would highly recommend it if you are ever in Macon, Georgia!

Saturday morning started with a training session for our 2nd born Canine, Elway. During his stay in Georgia, my father has been training him for Duck Hunting. Let me just say, he has come a LONG way!!!! He is actually still in Georgia completing his training. We will not pick him up until he passes Cassidy Duck Hunting training 101. :) After the training, we all went to go see Cori play softball. She played well, and they won. However, it wasn't a very exciting game as the other team was not very good. We still enjoyed cheering her on! I do enjoy getting to see her play atleast 1 game a year. My oh My have things changed throughout the years. I can still remember her T-ball years when one of her teammates laid down and took a nap in the outfield.

Saturday afternoon we all met up at my parents house for a family dinner. My godparents came too and it was great to spend time with them. They hadn't seen Ella Catherine since she was very little. Ella Catherine had a little Easter Egg Hunt and fun blowing bubbles before she retired for the evening. The adults stayed for a while and played Mexican Train Dominos. Now a favorite past time of Matt and I. Sunday we went to Easter Mass and then had a fabulous breakfast before hitting the road with Baylor for Nashville. We had a wonderful time in Macon, but after 5 hours in the car we were happy to be back in Nashville. Baylor seems to have adjusted well. I know she misses Dixie, Mac and Elway but she loves the attention!

Shortly after we arrived home, Beth McCrate, was knocking at our door. I couldn't be more excited that she has come to stay with us for a month (April 13-May 8th). She is doing her last clinical rotation here in Nashville at the clinic I work in. YAY!!Ella Catherine and her Cousin Cori
