oh hello. remember me? apparently i'm the one who hasn't blogged in over a month ... and by a month i really mean almost two. we've been carrying on trudging through our craziness that has become our normal. as i said way back in my
absence post, things were and have continued to be unusually crazy. we went from averie's croup to the flu with liam then to sleepless nights with averie's teething. to some this may not seem so crazy but it has literally been one thing after another and it's been hard. very. very. hard. i completely understand why my girlfriends with multiple kids used to laugh and say "just wait until you have two" when i would complain how "hard" it was with liam was. now i get it. not to say that only having one child isn't hard on it's own but now we're doing all of that again and trying to figure out the two year old too. i often feel like i'm on the verge of having it all together and losing my shit all at the same time. some days are better than others. some are complete and total disasters. and i'm not even going to mention the days that seem like all out war with our two little people that hold us hostage. i kid you not. these are the days that require copious amounts of coffee, patience and bottles of wine. yes bottles. but even with all of this, all of it being hard, i know it will eventually end. the teething won't last forever. the flu will go away, and come back again. and the tantrums will always end in hugs and snotty kisses full of "i love you's." and of course there is the that lovely bottle of wine waiting at the end of the day.
in blog news i will admit that i've missed blogging. more than i though i would miss it. but i haven't felt it missing. i've been spending more time with my husband, playing with liam, watching averie move from newborn to baby girl, instead of being behind a camera, thinking "hey i could blog about this," or at my computer. i'm coming back to my blog with a few things in mind. let's keep it real, i just don't have the time to blog every day or even every five days. when i do have down time i'd rather hang out with the hubs or maybe have my bottle of wine in the bath tub. by myself. quiet. sorry computer, you're just not the highest priority.
anyways there you have it. i'm back ... sort of ... occasionally. now for the fun in this post. some much needed photos of the littles.
i am still working on averie's birth story, to be fair it took me almost two years to get liam's done. so i guess by those standards i'm way ahead of the game. averie turns seven months old on saturday so maybe i should revisit her monthly posts and for sure
life {lately} according to iphone will be back in swing. i want to say thanks for the kind words and the support i've received over the last couple months. it doesn't seem so bleak and the light at the end of the tunnel is much brighter these days.
