Matt is no longer employed, that is the curve ball. I know it will all work out and this will pass. The hardest part right now is that I have gone back to work at the Foundation, very much part time though. My boss has been super to let me get some hours in and she is always SO flexible with when I work. However, I am SO sad about leaving my kids. I have wanted to be a stay at home mom for a long time, even before I had kids. I am a firm believer in kids being with thier mommies, but I guess I'm doing what I need to, atleast I keep telling myself that :( I don't believe God made dad's to tend to kids while mom's work, but for now that's how it is. So if you see my kids out and about with thier daddy don't laugh if they are still in their pj's at 3:00pm :)
Matt is looking for something and I know he will find the perfect job!
On to brighter topics...............................
Leighton is 8 months old! WOW!
Here's what the little guy is up to:
1. Being everywhere! pulling up and crawling.
2. Getting teeth, he has 1 and getting the other bottom one and he's not real happy about it.
3. Fighting sleep. It takes a lot to get him to sleep right now.
4. Eating some table food. I mash bannanas and he loves it! He still loves his baby food too.
5. He loves his daddy. The one who can usually get him to sleep by sitting in his lap watching Baby Einstien.
6. Making lots of noise....he loves to hear himself talk.
7. He likes to go out and about. He takes it all in everywhere he goes.
8. He dosen't like mommy to leave the room.
9. Biz is at the top of his favorite list right now too. He pulls up on Biz and laughs, it's so cute.
10. He's starting to play peek a boo.
We are enjoying him so much and feel blessed to have him in our family!
Anna Claire had parent observation week at tap/ballet in December and it was so cute. I love the ballet class, it would be my first choice for her, but it's not up to me right? :) She does like it and is getting good at it. I think it's precious, I could watch all day.
I feel like my girl has grown so much latley. She just seems so big to me. I love hanging out with her. Our girl time together is SO special to me. I hope to be having those special mother daughter moments for years to come, even when she's my age. I know for me, hanging with my mom is the BEST and always has been. I know Leighton and Matt will enjoy a similar, relationship as well.
