He Is Here

I know that it has been a really long time since my last post, but a lot has been happening. First thing first, he is here. We have waited a long time for this beautiful baby to arrive and the day finally arrived. Hayden joined our family on July 11th at 5:03 p.m. We think he is wonderful (Madison does too as long as he is not crying). He looks so much like his big sister, they even have the same birthmarks.

Next came my career change! This was a very hard decision for me. I loved my job and the people that I worked with, but I had a chance to stay at home with my children. I decided to start babysitting in my home. I am finding out that my new career choice has its challenges (did you know that a child's play stroller can hold a 7 year old boy so that he can take pictures down off your wall) it is a blessing and I really enjoy it.

And finally the last big change is school. Madison made the big step this year into kindergarten. Yes, I did say that my little girl is now a big girl. This was a hard day for mom. She loves school and seems to be doing well (no notes from the teacher yet). The only trouble is that my sweet little girl is "Moody Moose" when she comes off of the bus. Usually she is skipping from the bus with the world's biggest smile and then she hits the front door and look out! We are attributing this wonderful attitude to the fact that instead of eating her lunch at school she likes to play paper, rock, scissors. What a good use of time!

Well these are the adventures that have been running my life for the last few months. I hope you are all doing well and I WILL post again soon.
