Well, it has been quite a year! That is a little glimpse as to how things went. I considered, in early September, keeping my posts current. However, I realized very quickly that was never actually going to happen. Keeping up with chores was hard enough - I'm not good enough to keep up with a blog, too!
I have to say that the year was actually great! Life got crazy, of course, as it always does. I was an emotional wreck when I worked the year that Addison was a baby. I thought, for sure, I'd be worse this time. I waited and waited, but I never got sad. Of course I would have loved to stare at them in my living everyday instead, but I was completely okay and proud to be a Mom and a teacher.
Through all of the chaos of keeping up with chores, making lunches and dinner, after school activities, etc, we somehow still managed to bake flax seed-banana muffins, wear matching clothes with coordinating hair bows, and do art projects. I tried my best to do all of the things the little things that I really value AND have a job, too.
It turns out that the stress I brought myself in choosing the best childcare for the girls was 100% worth it. I loved their school, and, more importantly, they loved their school. They loved their teachers, their friends, their art projects and their lessons. Addison cried until November when we finally read The Kissing Hand, and I started kissing her hands before I left and waved to her from the parking lot. By Christmas, she was completely adjusted. She just told me last week, "Mommy, I'm really going to miss my friends this summer." I couldn't believe it!
So - we are back, and I've never been so ready for summer to begin!!
Here are a few pictures of some BIG days this year:
