Seeing through the fog!

I had my first cancellation today from work for awful, dense fog! I am not complaining by any means but a delay would have been just fine. However, it worked out because Miss Alexa has a slight cold and is very congested. Though she sleeps okay at the babysitters I know she will get better rest at home.

September pretty much came and went in the blink of an eye for us. I am feeling more comfortable at work but know I will continue to learn as the year goes on. We finally made it to Sauder Village for their Apple Butter Days this past weekend which was a lot of fun. We are not much closer to a decision regarding moving but have met with several builders and are waiting to hear on our quotes. What we hear back will determine if we move/build now and adopt again a little later or adopt again sooner and move/build a little later. It is hard to stay patient during all of this but staying patient lifted us out of the fog and brought us great joy before. I can't wait to see what it will do again!

A tough job!

I had forgot how stressful starting a new job could be! All the new policies, procedures, staff, children, buildings, etc. etc. Oh I can't forget paperwork right ugh the bane of my existence. I am pretty sure whoever came up with the idea of documentation didn't actually have to do it!

I am still trying to get the hang of our new routine that's for sure. It has been great getting home earlier but I also leave the house earlier. Although we have been going non-stop on little sleep since Alexa was born it has been exhausting going non-stop from 5:30 am until about 8:30 pm every day. I have a new found appreciation for what my parents did for me growing up.  Just wanted to say thank you mom and dad. Being a parent is a tough job!
