So long 2009

2009 brought about many changes in our life, and I'm thankful for all of them. To start off, I was a stay at home mom with Alex. In late June, Alex started preschool. This was heart-wrenching for me, but the changes I've seen in him have been amazing. In August, I finally started working after a year and a half long break with Alex. Finally, we found out that we are expecting baby #2 and couldn't be happier about all the great things that 2010 has to bring.

In 2010, we are looking forward to a lot of family weddings and celebrations including Roly & Marissa's wedding as well as the birth of our newest family member. We are really excited, and I look forward to blogging all about my experience as I did with Alex. :-)

In the meantime, we are amazed every day at the wonderful little person that Alex is becoming. He is a kind and loving soul although he can be a bit hyper and crazy sometimes. :-) He loves to sing like his mama and enjoys wrestling with anyone who will indulge him. He is currently in a phase of pulling off his shorts all the time, and we're still working on potty training him. We haven't gone full force yet because he's not yet ready but we are adamant about having him out of diapers by the time his little sister or brother arrives in June.

Work is work although it keeps me so busy that I hardly recognize the time flying by. I enjoy working with children. They keep me on my toes. I have a tremendous respect for teachers and challenge anyone that has never worked in the public schools to try to doing the job of anyone in public schools for a day. I might scream the next time I hear someone proclaim how wonderful our job is because of all the vacation we get. SHEESH! It's a tough job!

No more whining! My resolution for 2010. Happy New Year All!
