recently

Lots of chages are taking place in our family. Sierra started school last week. I am not too heartbroken this time around but I worry because she is not eating too well there. I am not sure if she's just trying to adjust or she's just that way. While she's there, I am not in control and things like that worry me A LOT.

I am going back to work next Monday. Originally, I was suppose to have another week to myself but boss called me yesterday to see if I can start a week early. I thought about how much daycare costs and I said sure. Pat's work said that they are laying off another 5% by the end of the year (they'd already laid off 5%) so it's good for me to have a job. Pat doesn't seem to be worried since he thinks worrying is a waste of time, so I worry for him.

Sierra is now in school 5 days a week (only in the am now), but Terran is still only 3 days. So for a few days, Terran and I had the mornings to ourselves. That's been really special since I have not had time with just him since Sierra was born. He likes to talk continuously and we just have a lot of fun. We went to a music class and did a really crazy dance together; on another day, I took him to the farm. We were suppose to pick apples but we just looked at animals, played on the tractor, and ate donuts. Even taking him shopping is fun. It's nice to be able to focus just on him for change.

I don't have any photos of Terran this month yet but plenty of Sierra.
I love this photo of Pat and Sierra laughing. It's so sweet.



Sierra can stand and walk around as long as she's holding on to something like the wall. She's a happy gal.



She likes to walk around with a bag; it's so girly. And she waves by to me as she does this.

I can tell you have been so happy being a full-time mom, being around your kids. I am surprised to read that you are going back to work so soon. Hope you have found a good and flexible job.

hi camela,
I am starting work tomorrow! Can't believe it's already been a year. I am going back to the place I was before and they have been very good to me in terms of flexibility. I feel a little torn about working but I think I will start to feel better about it once I start. I'm going to give it a good 3 months before I rethink everything. I miss you all!
