Winter Break??

Well, as it turns out, I ended up getting a very unexpected "Winter Break" this week....bad news is, I will probably be making up this "break" in its entirety when the sun is shining and summer should be in session..... :( Let's hope the district gets a waiver. On the bright side, I have spent the past 2 days (4 after this week), with my sweet angel, my hubby, and my sisteroo. I seriously feel more at east than I have felt in a while. It could be because with other breaks from school, it's highly anticipated, while this was out of the ordinary. I have also had this opportunity to blog not once, but TWICE in one week!! YAY! :) Maybe now I will keep up with it.

While I'm sitting at my computer, there are some things I'm currently pondering over: my job (when to start the search for a school closer to home), babies (and when to try for another little angel), and the possibility of staying home for a few years after our second. Financially, the thought of us losing my source of income is extremely scary. But if I do in fact move to a new school, that would mean finding new childcare for my little Andrew (no more Nanny Maria) :( :(  And if we want another baby in the near future, the cost of two kiddos in a daycare seems like a waste... If you read this, I would appreciate ANY advice I can get!! I don't know what it would be like to be a stay-at-home mom (or even if it's meant for me), but after these past few days at home with little man, I think I can handle it for 2 years. I just don't want to miss the milestones, the boo-boos that are going to happen, and the mysteries of how long he napped, how much he ate, and how active he was during the day. Of course, I can ask my Nanny these things....but I want to know the specifics. I want to experience them first-hand. 

I am extremely blessed for my baby Andrew, and I love him more than I thought I would ever love anyone. I know Todd and my life will be warmed even more when we have our second. I also know that Andrew will be a wonderful big brother (when that time comes). I just don't know how much "bigger" a brother I want Andrew to be....and I don't want to plan for it or against it, so I guess it should just happen...it's scary that I'm getting this out in writing, but I sure do feel better now. :) Until next time, those are my thoughts as of today. :) God is good, and I know all things will work out for the best!

These pants make me laugh!!

He loves tissue paper

And eating wrapping paper off gifts....:)
