Christmas 2014

Christmas this year was magical with baby girl. It's so much more fun having little ones for the holidays, well it always is, but babies make holidays more fun. :) We hung and made some of her first Christmas ornaments, she helped light the tree, we added her first stocking to the mantle, daddy, mommy, and Reese wore our Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve and we woke up early to see what Santa brought. Then she spent time with her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. It was a great first Christmas with our sweet girl!

3 months

Reese's 3 months was a whirlwind of a month for me. Lots was happening... Starting my job back, leaving Reese, the holidays, leaving Reese.... You get my drift?

With Reese turning 3 months on December 1st, I started back to work the next day. Since I'm a teacher I was only going to be back for 3 weeks before we were out for a 2 week Christmas break. It didn't make since to enroll her in daycare and pay for that whole month so one of my mother-in-laws kept her for those 3 weeks. That was truly a blessing. Work was tough and though I enjoyed being kinda back in the groove of teaching, I missed Reese way more. It was so hard to juggle my new life as a mom and work and I was missing so much. It just didn't seem right or natural. Plus come January she was suppose to start daycare and I just couldn't stand the thought of it. So, Pat and I decided that I would quit my job and stay home. 

I am so very excited to have this opportunity and feel so blessed. Being a mom is the best job in the world.
