2 Months Home with the Boys

I have been trying for a week to get pictures to upload here. Blogger must be having a problem...more should be coming soon!



I have cherished the opportunities I have had to use the phrase "the boys". I take pride in taking on the challenge of being a mom of two boys. I know there will be days where I want to pull my hair out and wish I could pull their hair into pigtails, but I also have wonderful days where I remember that they are some of the best parts of my life. Some people are shocked that we are going to "try again for a girl". I personally think this sounds like the worst reason to have a child to me. I am wonderfully satisfied with my sweet boys. I know little Solly is only 2 months old, but he has already made my family feel more complete. I am not sure how that is possible, but it is true.





I did get some bittersweet news that I need to go back to work full time next year. I was hoping that our Biology enrollment would be small enough to only go back half days, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am VERY thankful to have a job...I know many teachers that are not so lucky...but I was praying that there may be a way for me to be home a little bit more with "the boys". I know these early year are precious and fleeting...but we have not planned well enough for me to quit teaching. I guess that means back to the grind for me in August. There are parts that I do miss! And sometimes I wonder if I wouldn't go crazy at home that whole time. Being a full-time working mom and a stay-at-home mom are both difficult jobs!
