TODAY is the day

 

Today is the day - the day I get back to blogging!

 

I have been so encouraged by sweet comments and emails while I’ve been MIA over the past few months. I’m sorry I haven’t replied but the most I’ve seen of the internet is through my iPhone and my mammoth fingers and thumbs just don’t do well with the tiny touch screen keyboard ;)

 

The last time I posted, {on MAY 1st!!!!}, it was about my final day of being fed-up with hanging onto the baby weight. I must say that I DID NOT stick to my couch to 5k schedule. Record 100+ degree high temps in June?! Momma doesn’t have time for a heat stroke… Nor have I been sticking to healthy eating habits {I fall off the diet wagon and climb back on about every other week}, but by some act of God, I’ve managed to lose more than 10 pounds and am only 3 pounds away from my pregnancy start weight :)

More on that later though – I have so much more to catch up on!

{Not the best picture but it’s really one of the very few I have of me these days… seems like one tiny little mister is the focus of all my camera’s attention now ;)}

 

My time away has certainly not been due to lack of blogging material… this summer has most possibly been the BUSIEST summer of my life, which I mean in the best way possible! Between the mundane life of work schedules and the never ending piles of laundry and dishes, since I’ve been gone we’ve had at least 5 holidays (all firsts for Houston!), a wedding shower, a baby shower, bachelor and bachelorette parties in other states, parties, swimming fun, lots of family visits, a little boy that started crawling and is very close to WALKING(!) as well as an amazing amount of growing on Houston’s part.

 

The last time I did a monthly update {which I could literally cry about for not keeping up}, our baby boy looked like this at just 6 months old:

We now have an almost 11 month old baby boy and he is SO.MUCH.FUN!!

I can’t wait to tell you more about this little boy we are so in love with and what he’s been up to…

…and maybe even just a little of what we’ve been up to.

Missed you and SO GLAD to be back!

 

XOXO
