the end

It's the end of this wonderful world of being a stay-at-home-mom.  Even though, it was my maternity leave, I have lived a different life for the past few months.  I have really missed my friends at work.  But I have loved that I haven't set my alarm clock in months!  I have loved waking up to my babies, staying in my warm bed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with my crazy bedhead Bella while nursing Lucy.  I loved eating when we got around to it and watching Bella learn so much and watching Lucy grow.  Walking to get the mail was usually our outside adventure each day, now I guess I'll be getting it when I pull in after work each day.  I haven't missed being disappointed when thinking "Oh, I have to go to work tomorrow".   We didn't get to lounge around nearly as much as I would've liked.  We have been quite busy:

• We adjusted to being a family of 4
• We enjoyed Thanksgiving, black Friday shopping and the Iron Bowl
• We had to get our house sparkling pretty for Christmas and do all of our Christmas shopping
• We visited Santa
• We celebrated Bella's 2nd birthday
• I went to dinner and a Christmas movie with my mama & sisters
• I learned how to convert all of my home videos to DVDs and also learned to make our "highlight reels", which as you can tell, I'm a little obsessed with right now
• We had a great Christmas, even though I learned that I would have to get a 2nd job 
• We rang in the New Year at the lake, even though Bella and I were coughing, wheezing and blowing our noses
• I caught up on all of my photo books (huge accomplishment)
• Lucy had a photo shoot with Kamin
• We had a big bon fire after a tree fell on our camper!
• I celebrated when I found out Brynn is having a BOY!
• I spent my birthday with my family.
• And last, but not least...I started a diet.  NO FUN!

I'm tired and now I have to figure out how to be a mommy of 2, a wife who cooks and cleans, and a full time nurse that's working a 2nd job!?!?!?!?!?  I'm scared...but I'll adjust just fine...

because I'm so thankful to be a mommy of 2 and a wife to a man I love so much and a nurse who's blessed with 2 great jobs to help provide for my family.
