A New Day

Updating my blog has been on my "to do" list for quite some time. Along with leaving my full time job to be home raising my babies. Now that that's done, I've somehow found a few minutes to update the blog.  A lot has changed since I last wrote.

Logan is 5 now. He started Kindergarten this year. Now that I'm home, I get to volunteer in his classroom once a week. He is such a bright and social boy.  I love seeing him with his friends. He loves learning everything!  I love watching him learn to read and write. He continues to melt my heart.

Paige is 2! She's still my firecracker! Since I've been home, I have reconnect with my baby. I know her again. As crazy as that sounds, there was a time of disconnect between us. We are now stronger than ever and I love hearing her talk so much. Her big brother models an infinite number of words a day for her to listen to!

Oreo is no longer with us.  He passed away a couple of Christmas' ago. I'm not going to lie, it was tough deleting his photo from our family section on this blog. We have not selected a new kitty to be a part of our family yet. Logan is ready as is the rest of the family.  It's just me holding up the process. Maybe in the new year. . .

Like I said, I'm home from working now. No more late nights, missing dinner with the kids, bedtimes, out the door before they wake up. Overworked and overstressed. I did start up as a Thirty One Independent Consultant last September. I love how I feel when I have an event or listen to a call.

I guess that's about it.  Here are a few recent pics. Looking forward to blogging again. :)
