I love LINT, and BOOBS

Cam has some great facinations and these are two of them......
This is a picture of my adorable 2 year old holding something he LOVES and has loved for probably at least a good year- LINT!! Not just any lint, but lint he finds on anything. He could be talking, walking, or eating, but if he sees a piece of lint everything stops and he has to pick it up and look at it. It has been one of the funniest things I have watched him continue to be facinated with-- Lint! who knew!!
The other funny thing that I have to write about is Cam has developed a love for BOOBS. It seems once he discoverd they have a name he loves to say BOOBs. I discoverd this one night as I was laying with him on my lap and all of a sudden I felt little fingers touching me. I looked down and he smiled at me and said, "I love these!" I honestly didn't know how to respond so i just laughed. Fro looked over and said, "YOu love boobs?" and Cam replied "I love BOOBS!!" That was the beginning of a hilarious and not so hilarious teaching experience about BOOBS. Cam continues to suprise us with his out of the blue comments about boobs. One day I was getting ready and wasn't wearing my shirt yet and Cam pointed at me and said quietly, "Can I just touch the one?" It is the hardest thing to teach that he can't touch boobs when he comes out of no where with these comments that are so funny. I have been trying to teach him the what is okay and what is not okay but he continues to keep me on my toes and keeps me covering my boobs!! Wish me luck with this!!!

I am HOME!!

I am finally Home!! It has been a crazy 6 months with Fro being home from work, but no one is more excited than me to be home, except maybe these two!!

The last two weeks since I officially am done working full time has been quite the whirlwind. We have been to the dinosaur museum, the thanksgiving point farm, the aquarium, kangaroo zoo, the park, and the park again, shopping, relaxing, and just playing outside for hours on end. It has been wonderful and amazing.
You honestly take being a "stay at home mom" for granted until you become a FULL TIME working mom who is gone the majority of the day and when you are home you have a million things to do to catch up. I don't know how single working moms do it, but I am amazed by them and don't envy that situation for a second. I learned more from this last six months about myself than I could have imagined and even more about how much I value, love and appreciate my opportunity to be home most of the time. It was hard on everyone of us to experience me being gone and fro being home, but it is definately something we all learned from. I constantly kept feeling like I was living two different worlds. I felt nothing was completely real because it wasn't what i am used to or prefered. I felt completely out of the loop reguarding my kids, and even almost sent Ali to school on a no school day. Fro definately had an eye opening experience being the "mom" of our house for the last 6 months and our kids definatly loved and learned a lot from him- I couldn't have asked for a better guy to fill all the many roles that moms fill each day!!(and still find time to go tanning!!) :)
I loved being at work with the many wonderful patients and people I work with, but my family is and always will be my first priority.
I have returned to work part time and it has been a great blessing to have both my jobs- as a Retinal photographer, and a mom of two awesome kids!!
