Suzette will be going to Aurora University to get her certificate to be a school social worker. She already has a Masters of Social Work, so she only needs two classes and a school year internship. She will attend one class at night each semester. For the internship, she will work with a school social worker at a local elementary school one day per week. Suzette is going to have her hands full - just imagine the crying, fighting, whining, complaining...and that's just at our house! :)
She is excited but apprehensive, as you would expect after seven years as a stay-at-home mom. She is an excellent student and a very conscientious and caring worker. If she is half as good at being a school social worker as being a mom, she will be great! In a year, Anna will attend all-day kindergarten, so Suzette can work full time as a school social worker.
For now, it will take a little time to adjust to our schedule, not to mention the kids going back to school. We will all need to help out a little more around the house. But we are all very excited and proud of Mommy!

I think that's great that Suzette is going to be a school social worker. I think she'll be great at building connections with the kids and families she's working with.
(...And how is it that your blog has nearly 3 times as many posts about poker than family? Just kidding. On the other end of the spectrum is this blog [http://allen-and-elaine.blogspot.com/], written by parents who, among other things, kept track of how many times their baby pooped in his first year of life. It's a great blog--CUTE baby--but I wonder if that's going to creep the kid out a little?)

Well, this was going to only be a poker blog, but it turned out that it's a great way for friends to keep track of us.
Some good friends of mine took photos of their son almost every day and posted them on their web site...that lasted about 3 years.
