Well, I am just terrible about writing in a journal and keeping a record of daily life (& important things, for that matter). And, I guess it turns out that I am not that great at blogging either.
But, lately I was able to read a 100 page "journal" story that my father-in-law wrote about all time when the family lived in Spain for 3 years when my husband was just an exploring, young kiddo. And, I just loved it! It reminded me how important it is to keep track of the little things in life, and the big things, too!
We have adjusted to life in Texas. We miss our friends in Arizona, but were able to go for a quick visit last month, which was great.
Other than that, we have had a busy few months. I think we must spend half our time visiting my parents and siblings in San Antonio, which is so awesome. It is so nice to be able to jump in the car and drive to see family! We just love it!
I have to say, it has been an adjustment for me to spend so much time with Eli, my little guy. At first, I felt like I was spending half my day, staring at him, wondering what we should do next. In fact, I am embarrassed to say, that since I was used to working so much at a super busy job, I at times felt bored with this shift in lifestyle. Yes, I said it, bored. And, with that, of course I felt guilty, because there is no way I should be bored with my darling 1 1/2 year old! Anyway, it only took a couple of weeks to get into our groove of daily activities and fun. And, now, I simply cannot imagine being away from him more than I am now! We spend our days hopping from splash pad to park to the backyard, and everything in between! I feel so lucky to have him as my little side kick every day. I just love him to pieces. Can't you see why?
