The download on the last 2 months!

Okay, so I've fallen off the blog ladder as of late.  It seems life took me for a ride and sometimes it's hard to get off and take a moment to reflect.  I'm baaaaack and we have covered a lot of ground over the last few months. Sophia turned 5 and started her last (finally!) year of preschool at Montessori.  We decided to hold her back since she has such a late birthday.  She is, however, going extended day 5 days a week and it has been nothing short of spectacular for both of us.  She gets to be engaged and with friends until 2:30 everyday and I get to spend some QT with my little boy.  Speaking of, Avery is such a sweet boy.  He is so smiley and loves to laugh.  He's a good baby.  However, I'm not gonna lie; having two kids is an adjustment for me.  I know it's different for everyone, but this was a tough transition for me.  I have a hard time not putting all my eggs in one basket - and when you have two and have to tend to two at the same time it just doesn't work in my favor.  I'm doing 'good enough' with it now and am proud of my little triumphs throughout the days and weeks, whether it be multi-tasking domestically while taking care of two kids or getting them both fed, bathed and asleep before 8 pm when Sean is gone for multiple days on end.  It's unbelievable how quickly time moves.  My baby is now almost 4 1/2 months, and Sophia is well on her way to her teens, so I better cover the good times while I can....
