Welcome Home! We returned from vacation this past weekend, and I'm reluctantly jumping back into the pace of life. Thankfully, preschool doesn't begin until next week, but staff meetings start tomorrow. SO SO SO fun to see you while you were here! Thanks again for making time in what I realize now was a VERY busy vacation. :)

and we will be out numbered....

as of monday, i am through my first trimester with sweet baby #3. the sweet children will out number the adults come the beginning of march. as john likes to comment about my day to day coping skills, "her body is betraying her" as i adjust to pregnancy and surviving with two small children. i still can't find our flash drive to upload pictures....i'll work on it. it requires clearing off the computer desk which exists in the middle of the living room due to the plaster/drywall work being done to patch up the hole from the toilet leak. supposedly the new hardwood floors are supposed to arrive this week.....which means we could potentially move out of the office and back into our bedroom in a couple of weeks!!! the small pleasures in life!
