Special K's first portrait session

Matt's gift to me for Mother's Day was a surprise. He did good! He took Special K to Sears for a little photo session.

Click on this link to check out the pics. Pretty sweet little boy!

He's 8 months old today...I wish I could slow time down a bit! It's all going too fast for me.


Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there!

I'm so grateful to have the chance to be a Mommy...it's the best job ever (even when it's hard)!

It's been a while...

Life has been crazy, as I'm sure it is for everyone, but I have found it basically impossible to find the time to blog!

I started back to work full time for tax season (Jan 1 - April 30), and quickly learned that tax season is hard, but with an infant, it is much harder!

I love my job, which helped, but I was pretty miserable being away from Special K so much. My friend Jess, who is his babysitter, helped me immensely, going out of her way to help me to spend as much time with him as possible. I would not have made it through without her.

I'm back to part time now, hooray! 3 days working a week is so much better. I love having so much more time to play with Special K (and occasionally do some housework).

It's funny, I had a checkup with our family doctor a week or so ago, and he asked me if being a mom was harder or easier than I thought it would be. I laughed! In most ways, it's about what I expected, except having to work and be a mom. I often find myself asking my mom how she did it, working part time.

It's almost my first Mother's Day, and
I can't sleep...too many thoughts running around up there. I'm so amazed and grateful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with such a sweet little soul. Special K is just "the cutest thing ever" (which is how we refer to him most of the time, his babysitter too!) He's such a happy boy, and has the funniest little personality blooming. It's amazing how much you can love such a little person.

Anyways, enough of my thoughts, here's some pics to try to catch up on what's been going on! Hard to believe Special K will be 8 months old next week!
