almost a year...

hello again!  we have been busy here and blogging as has been on my mind lately so i thought i would try to get back to it.  i miss writing and this is one way for me to write on a (somewhat) regular basis.


oliver almost 1!  this year has flown by.  it seems like with each little one, time goes faster and faster.  he just got 6 teeth all at once, 4 of which were molars, so he has been a bit cranky lately but the last of them pushed through today so hopefully he will get some relief (and we will too!).

we participated in screen free week last week.  we made it the whole week, which i think was harder for me than for the kids.  i got a lot of reading done, and more sleeping.  it was surprisingly liberating that i didn't know what was happening with the housewives.  i cared at first, but it wore off.  it's funny how it can feel like something is such a big deal, but then when some distance it put between me and it, it becomes not so important after all.  i only watch tv a couple nights a week, which wasn't too hard to give up, but keeping social networking/blog sites to a minimum was harder.  it was nice to have a little reset and realize that i don't always need to know what all my friends had for dinner or that they worked out at the gym.

hopefully i'll be back here soon!
