Catching Up…

I know, I know, I’ve been gone for a while… what can I say, life is just nuts… a fun nuts, but nuts… so here is a little update and some pictures…
May is a fabulous month in our house, it is the beginning of “spring” which means, I get to clean every inch of our [...]

I became “that” Mama…

Well, on Saturday, I became “One of those moms”… You know the type… Isaac and I were playing at the little park by our house, it was nice outside. We were both looking a little bed headish. I had 3 day old hair, he had on a onesie and some ratty shorts. We were having [...]

Nothing else left to try…

Well… tonight was a little crazy in our house. Daddy was not feeling well, Mama was having a few health issues of her own and poor little Isaac was just cranky. Nothing worked, food was not what he wanted, a story was something he was not interested in, toys could not keep him happy and [...]

First Hair Cut

Well… let’s just say he did not love it…

I did manage to get some great pictures! He is such a doll – I cannot believe how big he is getting.

2080 hours and lots of tears…

A year ago today I returned to work from my maternity leave. A year ago I had a tiny little baby, just a little over 2 months old… A year ago today I cried so hard my eyes hurt. A year ago today I was so excited you would have thought it was the first [...]

A few things for the New Year…

But this year, I was asked about what my “resolutions” are… it won’t suprise you to know they are drastically different than those of my co-workers. [...]

Tag the Desk – the most perfect day!

So today, not only because it is Friday, was one of the best days of the year. Why? Well, because today was a half day for a full day’s pay… You see, every now and then I am allowed to work 4 hours of the day and take the rest of the day off, without [...]

Favorite part of the day…

My favorite part of the day has begun; I love the hour between 4 – 5pm. You see, the day is coming to an end. The office has gotten quiet and it is almost time to pick up Isaac and head home for some family time. The nights are mostly very relaxed around our house; [...]
