Hello, hello!! A million apologies for my lack of blogging! I keep waiting to get all my pictures uploaded and then another week goes by. Just logging on today showed me it's been over 2 months since my last post! Shame. Can we move on and still be friends? :) Cause this here blog is about to get pretty interesting...
First, let me bring you up to speed. Not waiting for pictures, no more excuses. This is what it is. And actually, what its been can be summarized by the words: balance, togetherness, and laughter. Three beautiful words. We are in a good season of life right now. Let me share some highlights.
At the beginning of the school year I took on a new position as our school's Title 1 Specialist. It's been challenging in all the best ways and very rewarding. Aside from stretching my wings, growing professionally, and not having to take any work home with me, I've been able to set my own schedule and go to work only when the boys are in school (or T, Th Rudy is home in the mornings with Gavin, still). I get off at noon and pick Gavin up from preschool (or switch places with Rudy) and later pick up Kyle from school. Everyday, from noon on, I am just mom. And I love that. I love that my jobs are compartmentalized and when I'm home my 100% focus is on my family.
Rudy's work has been so rewarding for him as well. He is an integral part of the business and couldn't be appreciated or respected more. They just love him and there is a lot of opportunity in the future for growth. Truly a blessing is having a boss who isn't intimidated by Ru's success but rather encourages it. We are so thankful to have him so close to home and come home each day feeling good about the difference he makes in others' lives.
The boys are getting older. They are easier, they love each other deeply, enjoy playing together, and are just great kids. We have worked through so much, so let me not be misunderstood... there have been many challenges! But, we've made lots of positive gains in our parenting and understanding. Laughter is good medicine. A new(er) fun part of our days include playing board or card games. Gavin is old enough to play right there with us and we have a lot of fun around the table. Equally fun for the boys are the plentiful friends on our cul-de-sac. There are 50 to be exact. Gavin just gained a new friend named Yuma. A family of 4 just moved in to the front unit of our duplex and our kids play together constantly. We live much of life outdoors and in the wonderful community of neighbors and friends. We are feeling very thankful and very blessed.
I'll pop back in next, for a little photo recap of the last few months. Thanks for wanting to know what we're up to and for encouraging me to keep at this! :)
