summer 2012

this has been the longest time i've ever had off.  since i had sophie early, my maternity leave, combined with summer vacation, gave me 3 1/2 months at home with the kids.  it was an amazing summer.  i loved being home (most of the time) and loved spending so much time with jake.  we were always out doing something and i think i eased the blow of bringing someone else into the picture. i had still have a bunch of mommy guilt feeling he was getting less attention and the less energetic mommy model but...

  he i loved waking up in the mornings with us just laying in bed watching tv. then it was usually time to pull out the double jogging stroller and head out for a run jog.  he loves being in the stroller and discovering what's around him.  our new game is "what do you see?"  i started it with him a few months ago and now he actually starts it by saying, "mommy, what do you see?" 

the next few posts will be all about summer 2012.
