We're Back!
I feel as if I start off most of my posts with an excuse as to why it has been so long since my last one. I have a good one this time... actually, two! Since last week, Aubrey and Kevin have had terrible colds and it seems as if life has come to a standstill around our house. I feel like a good portion of my week has been either glued to a rocking chair or pacing the floor trying to put a stuffy-nosed baby to sleep (Aubrey, not Kevin). They are finally beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. We are so fortunate that this is only Aubrey's second real cold, because it is tough!The second is, I started back to work this week. Not full-time by any means, but I am back at Culver Elementary teaching writing to third graders two hours a day. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the "writing" portion of my job, because the flaws in my own will stand out even more. Since Kevin is fortunate enough to work from home, he is now in charge of Aubrey for a couple hours every day. She loves her time with her daddy and sleeps longer than ever in the morning so he can get some work accomplished.
Even though Aubrey is asleep and dreaming about all the new food to try during most of my time away from her, I still can't get home fast enough. Just the little time away every morning makes me so thankful that I didn't have to go back to work when she was first born. Just thinking of all the things I would miss makes my heart ache. Like the smile that greets me when she wakes up from a nap, afternoons walks around the neighborhood, changing countless poopy diapers... oh wait, there are a FEW joys of parenting that I could do without!
All this to say, the Finn's are back to the blogging world and I'm sure the posts will be coming on a daily basis from now on! And for the majority of you who probably frequent Aubrey's site only for the updated photos, more will be posted soon!
