STRESSED, but here's some pictures!


I apologize to anyone I haven't answered e-mails to or commented on their blog or facebook, etc. I have found that trying to work 40 hours a week while still taking care of your 2 kids under the age of 3 and keeping a tiny apartment that houses 4 people clean is VERY hard to do, and very stressful. I almost envy those moms that get to drop their kids off before work and not have to worry about them til they pick them up at the end of the work day.... almost. I still am very grateful to be able to be home and experience all the giggles and new steps in the kids life, but boy has it been hard trying to do it all. Managing will definitely be worth the free rent + salary until we get some medical bills paid, but I am not so sure how much longer we will be doing this after that. SO, until then, don't expect too many blog updates... I will try hard, especially for the grandparents, but try to cut me some slack if I lag. To make it easier on myself, I think I will just post pictures we have taken and save some time by not always writing a huge long explanation, like so:

Wow, girlie! How are you doing it all? You are amazing. What great pictures, though. I LOVE the one of John and the boys with the sunlight coming from behind. Gorgeous! :) Hang in there!

It will get better! Once you get in the groove of things! Super cute pictures. If it makes you feel better, I have a hard time keeping our house clean without working :)

Looks like you are at least able to get some family time in there! Hope things slow down for you guys!

Um, apology accepted... so long as you accept my apology for not commenting on this for a week!! I hope things have gotten better in that week - adjusting to a new place, schedules, etc. I didn't realize your new managing job was full-time! Phew, I know it is a hard job balancing both family and work. Good luck! We're hoping to be in the "area" by the first of the year. Still waiting for some more info on a different job. Loved the pictures! And Ethan and I enjoyed the videos. :)
