Whirlwind
Obviously, so much has happened. That, or I forgot my password again.
No, really, it's been busy.
We had two birthdays and now parent a 1-year-old and a 4-year-old. In between celebrating those birthdays, we moved from Texas back home to Louisiana. We both quit our jobs in Texas and Bobby started a new job here in the New Orleans area. I became a stay-at-home mom. I loved it. I hated it. I was challenged by it. And then I got a job offer. I cried because it was what I wanted - and what I didn't want. And while it feels great to be back in the classroom, I miss my babies every single day.
Ella had to get tubes in her ears for chronic ear infections. I was glad to be home with her through that process and through her surgery. As fate would have it, I started working the week after her tubes were placed. She has been doing great since we had the procedure done and I know it was the right choice.
She goes to daycare now and she is not a fan. She misses her momma and our time together. She became quite attached in our two month break from routine.
Molly has adjusted well and has a new dancing school and after two months of part-time preschool, goes to school daily with Ella now. That was a rough adjustment for her because she loved her first school, but she has come around. She has proven herself resilient, and I am so proud of how she has handled all the change.
We have also done lots of fun things since moving home and I will be sharing those soon. It feels good to have a sense of being settled and to feel the whirlwind slowing down. Now it's just time to focus on our new life here in New Orleans with my two girls.
