so many changes, so little time....

ahhhhhhhhh, oh how i have neglected my blog!

well, on the playground front, there is very little progress since my last post. life has gotten crazy busy, and the weather has gotten crazy HOT! it WILL get done.

however, about everything else around here HAS changed!

i have gone back to work full time. back to the world of graphics and printing. and in all honesty, i'm loving it! it's hard to be apart from my boys and my mom friends, but nice to be back in the adult world. so it's a bittersweet transition.

in my transition, both of the boys have gone through changes as well. rylan is going to preschool...and what a change this has been. every morning is still a bit rough...but i think we're past the "mama, don't leave me! i love you! are you going to come back?" stage. he comes home every day full of energy and with stories of how much he loves his big boy school. as his mom, i can already see huge changes in how much he's grown up in the past 2 1/2 weeks. i don't feel like quite the deserter every day, as i did the first day i left him at school (he and i were BOTH in tears that day) the change is bittersweet.

coop is currently hanging out at home with a wonderful neighbor and friend until he turns a year old and can walk. (a requirement to go to preschool.) needless to say, we've been practicing walking A Lot since his first birthday is just a couple of weeks away!! i think we'll make it! and he has a new best friend in the neighbor's dog, benny. so, so very cute.

so there's a new car (so that both are kid-carting equiped), a new job, a new schedule, new schools, and....and....almost a birthday. coop, my baby....almost a year old. we will celebrate - my little surfer baby - but i'm so sad to see you grow sometimes!

it's amazing to see all the changes that have come in the last couple of years...and it still awes me to recognize this as my life. it's a crazy life - but i'm so blessed that it is mine.
