Scout has more energy than a … a … anything or anyone I have ever known.
She is a firecracker. Whip smart and has the memory of an elephant. This can be a good and bad trait. After finding her standing on her head consistently, we enrolled her in gymnastics. It has been great to return to the gym to watch our daughter tumble!
She says big words and bob and I shake our heads… how? when? What? Time blazes by. She is in preschool at an in home program called ‘Little Crickets.’ Thriving, with friends and projects galore, we are thrilled to see her so happy.
Sawyer made his way into the world this July and has been a very, very mellow baby. He is definitely Bob’s son. He doesn’t complain, he sleeps well and is developing a very sweet personality. He and Scout have started playing together and laughing; before we know it they will be plotting to sneak out of the house and steal the car. We are so thrilled to have a home full of such chaos, laughter, noise and love.
Bob has been promoted three times in his near five years at the Department of Energy, Renewable. He is one of the only ones in the country with a bullet proof job thanks to some of the stimulus money that headed his way in March. Work has been busy, rewarding (he tells me so) and because of all the growth there has been a lot of change in his office. From small-ish and quaint to seeing people in the hallway he doesn’t even know. I suppose Renewable Energy is a big deal. Proud of him.
I am a stay-at-home-mom and much more comfortable with being home this time than I was three years ago when I was at home Scout for the first year. I am enjoying my time with the kids immensely and feel very thankful to be in a position that I can share the special moments and sometimes REALLY long days with the kids. I know it is fleeting.
