So, it’s been awhile…more like forever since I’ve updated our blog. And the truth is although I was a little pressed for time with having a little guy, and moving across the country and back…I was really just lacking inspiration..so, having read most everyone else’s blog that I have, and taken what I’ll call a long-term hiatus, I’m back.

If you know us, you know our crazy year and a half so I’ll move on from where we are now. Charlie’s 19 months old (yesterday!) and constantly on the move. We have him in a mother’s day out program at our church, Cokesbury two days a week which has proven to be the two days I look forward to most. Errr, uh except the days Freddie’s off…anyway, I’ve learned what I can and cannot get done in those very quick hours alone. I’ve yet to get a pedicure or anything fun like that, most of the time I just go to the grocery store and clean my house. My compartmentalized mind is set that I need to fill every second with something productive and when I’m by myself, I guess food and cleaning are at the top of my list?!?! I guess deep down, I was meant to be the domesticated housewife I am. I love the quiet of the house (and snoring of the dog) when I’m here by myself. But I find myself missing Charlie following me from room to room, and wonder what he’s doing at “school”..and I cannot wait to go get him and read the little slip of paper highlighting what he did that day.

And then I look so forward again to the next school day, but really knowing I’m just going to think about Charlie the whole time. What is that messed up cycle of thinking? Am I always going to think that way? It’s kind of driving me nuts.

Here’s a few pictures of Charlie’s first day of school!
