    Default Hi all!

    I just wanted to pop in and say sorry that I haven't been around as much, lately. I went back to work last Monday (after my maternity leave) and it's been very busy. When I get home, I hang out with the kids and find myself with no free time for the computer. While I miss the village, I am having some great family time (dh is home watching the kids while I'm at work) and things are going well. I like being back at work and the kids are enjoying being with Daddy. Matthew is being baptized this weekend, so it's another weekend where I won't really get to "chat" with you all, but school gets out on the 26th...I'll be back then!

    Looking forward to seeing pics of the baptism!

    Hi Amy! I am glad things are going well and that your DH is able to stay home with the children while you are at work. I bet the children are enjoying that.

    Drop in when you can.

    glad everything is working out good. its so nice when your dh is available to watch the kdis while you work. my dh works 3rd shift, so i'm not able to work yet, but hopefulyl when the kids go back tos chool in september i will be able to. my neighbor lady owns a daycare center & she said i could come work there & bring my dd 3yrs old & plus make some extra $$$$. the center will only charge me $10.00 a day for my dd, can't beat that price. plus with the 3yr olds it will be more like a preschool setting.
