Yesterday a dear friend of mine stopped by. Kristen encouraged me to step out and try teaching Adventure Club last year. The two of us worked well together, and being w/ someone I felt comfortable with helped me get over some of my fears of teaching again. I gained confidence and can't wait to get back (once Annie is older). It was great to catch up and be able to show off Annie in person finally! :)
The kids are excited for Christmas and talking about it non-stop. Here they are coloring Christmas pictures together.
The other day when it snowed everyone was eager to get outside! Thank goodness for the big window off our family room b/c I could watch the older kids play while I nursed Annie. How could I tell them no!?!!?
Abby and I found this outfit for Annie a few months back. I was excited to try it on her yesterday. It was short lived. We go through so many outfits these days! and oh the laundry!!!!
Annie had fun looking at Abby's Christmas tree yesterday and actually reached out for the ornaments a few times.
here she is playing in her crib. You can tell a little more what she might look like in this photo.
Last night was very sad for me. For years we've been attending story time at Barnes and Noble. Miss Mary does and amazing job w/ the kids and will surely be missed! I love how Miss Mary is so loving w/ each and every person she meets. She makes you feel special and important. Her love feels genuine. I wish I could be more like her.
The kids both made cards for Miss Mary and gave her hugs goodbye!

a group shot. Goodbye Miss Mary! We Love you!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Life has been a bit crazy here so I'm having a hard time finding time to blog. Annie is so demanding and if I ever get her quiet and happy I try to spend a little time w/ the kids. It's so hard though, when I finally get her out of my arms all I want to do is sit down and rest! I remember this stage when Abby was born.. just frustrating b/c I felt like a bad mom, not able to give my all, or being too tired to do so. I remember someone telling me at the time that Luke wouldn't remember this time or hold it against me, and that really helped. I'm so anxious to get back in to the swing of things. I don't like to be tied down. I like to be out and about doing fun actvities w/ the kids. We tend to go crazy staying home too long.
Well that's all for now. Abby and I are going to enjoy a playdate w/ some new friends this morning. Back to cleaning.... ;)
