Happy Valentines Day!

Richy and I celebrated Valentines Day Saturday night. Richy planned a dinner a The Back End Cafe. This dinner was 7 courses and very fancy. We then went to see Valentines Day. We arrived a few minutes late and ended up sitting on the second row. It was an okay movie. I thought it would have been better considering all the people that were in it. It was nice spending time with just Rich! Luke had his first sleepover Saturday night. He stayed with my mom and Kel. He had a blast and I think they did too. I thought that I would get all kinds of sleep and be so rested but I woke up every hour. I guess you get use to having your little boy there and when he is gone its different. Sunday (the real Valentines Day) we went to church and kept the nursery. We decided to just come home afterwards and we had a lazy day. It was great! We took two naps, watched the Olympics, and tried out Luke's high chair for the first time. I can't think of another way I would have wanted to spend Luke's first Valentines Day!

WOW...It has been way too long!

I have really put this blog on the back burner and there is not the time to catch up....plus you would have to read on and on and on. So I have decided that I am going to just list somethings that are going on with us.

- Luke is 5 months.He sits up (well he is still a little wobbly but he is getting there), he rolls from one end of the living room to the other, he says DADA all the time, he sleeps on average from 8:30-6 in his crib, he eats one meal a day of baby food (he LOVES sweet potatoes), his other meals consist of 8 oz. of formula (sensitive subject), and he melts my heart with every grin! Richy and I are so in love and I can't even imagine what life would be like with out his big squishy cheeks and his perfect smile!

-Richy is working hard as ever trying to make sure he has work during this tough time with our economy. I am so proud of him and the way he constantly works to make sure Luke and I are taken care of. He isn't spending much time with his hobbies because he is working and spending time with Luke and I. He has lost all of his baby weight ( the weight he gained while I was pregnant and more) and I am afraid he is about to get my booty into the gym and work on getting our high school bodies back...haha.

-As for me I am still teaching 1st grade by day and loving on my boys by night. My job is really challenging this year and I am unsure if it is because I have different priorities at home now or if it really is challenging. I am having a hard time spending 7 hours a day with 20 kids that aren't mine and then only spending 3 hours with my child. However, it is what I have to do to make sure our family has food on the table and health insurance. I had to stop nursing Luke because I wasn't getting the opportunities at work to pump and I fell behind and couldn't keep up. I think this has been the hardest thing I have had to deal with since becoming a mom. I truly loved nursing Luke and it was very hard to stop. I am working on getting off the last few pounds of baby weight and the weight I put on before I got pregnant. Hopefully by the end of May I will be one hot mama...haha.

Hopefully I won't wait so long next time between posts but it is VERY hard to squeeze blogging in when I have lesson plans to write, parent letters to type, and a sweet boy to love on!
