checking in.

I can't believe that I haven't posted in almost a week! This is probably the longest I've gone since I started this blog over a year ago. Things at work have been insanely busy and I've barely had time to eat and sleep, let alone blog. I've been pulling 14-15 hour days - which means working regular office hours all day, coming home to spend time with Kale, and then working more after he's gone to bed. Not a good routine.  Oh, and we moved last weekend! That was crazy (more on this later). The good news is that it's a long weekend and I have three full days off work! Woot woot!

In other blogging news, I wanted to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone for their very sweet comments during my "one year of parenting" series. I really enjoyed writing it and I was so happy to hear that people enjoyed reading it. If you're a blogger, then you know how nice it is to get comments. It lets you know that people are actually reading!! I LOVED that I got a lot of comments from new readers (not that I don't love you regulars!!)

Overall, writing the series really gave me an amazing opportunity to look back and reflect on the past year and see how we've all grown as a family. I think I'm going to attempt writing a regular (weekly, monthly? I'm not sure) post specifically about parenting in the future. I also found it really helpful to write regularly when I knew ahead of time what I was going to write about. Often I find myself sitting in front of a blank blogger screen and all the idea's I had for posts seem to vanish. I need to start writing my idea's down and working my way through the list. If any of you have any idea's for posts, please let me know!

Oh, and in case you forgot what the cutest baby (still not ready to call him the "t" word) every looks like - here you go:
