It's been a long time!

Hello there!

It has been such a long time since I've written...anything!  So forgive me for my very long absence, life kind of has a tendency to get in the way.  I really enjoy the process and taking the time to sit down and get my thoughts and feelings down on paper is really an important tool for me, both as a Mom and just as a human being in general. So my goal is to try and write more often on here. My topics will be family oriented most of the time since that is what I spend the majority of my time doing but once in a while I will try to have something profound to share with you all. I will as usual share family photos and try to keep you all updated on the kiddos and our family adventures as well. 

This last year has definitely been our busiest yet! Isaac turned 3 in June and Ellie turned 1 in May.  We had a great time celebrating their birthdays with a combo party in June.  No big vacations planned this year but we did have a get away in May with our extended family to the coast which was fantastic!  Later this summer we will be taking another quick getaway to Pinecrest for some relaxing at one of their cabins by the lake.  Isaac will get to go to his first Giants game in a few weeks and Ellie will spend time with her Auntie in SF while we have fun at the ballpark.
In September Isaac will begin his first year of Preschool.  It's hard to believe he is already old enough to start school, even if it is only two mornings a week!  I am very excited for him and for my little girl also, she can get in some time with her Mommy without having to share me with her very demanding older brother.

Since Isaac was born I have been amazed at how quickly he seems to grow and develop and now with two little ones 3 and under it has only magnified this for me.  I marvel and most days am in awe of this awesome responsibility I have been given; to help nurture and mold these two little miracles into the amazing young adults I know they someday will be.  I am hopeful that my reflections here will not only keep you updated on all our adventures but also perhaps put a smile on your face or on some days perhaps a knowing sigh. I look forward to sharing it all with you.  Until next time!
