I have wanted to blog about a lot of things but haven't had the confidence in my words to express the weight of the things that have been going on lately. The loss of people close to me and of those that were close to those near to me as well as news coverage of many large scale tragedies lately has frozen me. But time marches on and I started this blog to record events of my life. So I will get back on track. AdaReece started 'school' 2 weeks ago!!! What?!?! This is from her first day:
Since last fall, has spent around 10+ hours per week at our house with a sitter, Laura, while i did stuff...Well, I was asked to fill in at a dentist office one day a week until October to cover two separate maternity leaves. So. Instead of starting her in Mother's Day out (I was planning to do that in August) I visited a few daycares and chose to enroll her part-time at the Erlanger at Volkswagen Drive Daycare. It is a HUGE adjustment for me but she has done great. Some tears and clinging but mainly smiles and is shyly adjusting to her classmates. She is the youngest in the class and in the fall some kids will move up and some closer to her age will move in.
No real 'colds' so far but she has been getting 3 more teeth (laterals) in and I'm blaming them for her on and off diarrhea. I also went on my first weekend away.. 3 glorious nights in a hotel in New Orleans celebrating a fran's bachelorette party!!
It was so nice to get pictures and videos from my Michael. (If the above video doesn't work then I'll repost later)
Just to recap... February, March, April: She loves sketti:
Sometimes I feel like I'm going to drown in my life. So, I look back at the pictures in my phone to remind myself of how awesome my life is. And how blessed I am.
