I fell off.


the blog wagon. but i'm trying to get back on.
i feel like we are, finally, back in the swing of things here.  post mexico, it took a little bit of time for all of us to re-adjust.  just in the past week, theo has decided that it's okay to spend the entire night alone in his bed.  three has been a crowd, even in our california king.

and emmett, too, is slowly finding his way back to normal.  my little redhead has never been an incredible nighttime sleeper... but we are getting back to sleep that we can all live with.  

i have been busy with work... teaching many of my classes twice in one week in order to make up for the time i was away. i'm a little bit anxious about the timing of it all. when will our travel call come? where will i be in my semester? what will i do about what's left to be finished, if i have to leave before the middle of may? while i'm eagerly anticipating that phone call, the not knowing when is freaking me out.

i've also been privileged with an assignment at work that is consuming a ton of my free time.  my official half-marathon training has begun, and so have swimming lessons for the spring. phew. we've got a lot to do.

Hi, Em! We just got back last night from Mexico and it's so bizarre to see your beautiful photos of such a familiar land. Your photos are amazing--every single one of them becomes my favorite. And you look so beautiful. When are you running the 1/2 marathon? Call me this week when you catch your breath and get into the swing of things. Love and miss you,
e

You know I've missed you..I'm so, so glad you're back! I'm tired just reading your list of why you haven't been blogging. It makes my life look lame... so what the heck is my excuse as to why I have no time?! ;-)
