1 + 1 does not equal 2......

But it sure equals ALOT of love!!!!! When I became pregnant with Mason I knew that things would be harder with two children instead of just one but WHEW!!! I didn't realize just how different things would be! Of course I am absolutely 100% just totally crazy in love with our newest addition, Mason is just such an amazing little boy and I wouldn't trade the craziness for anything in the world but I'll be honest it's hard at times juggling two kids, packing a million things just to get out the door, one get's sick then when they get better the other one get's sick, then I get sick. Soooooo needless to say yes, it's been two whole months since I last blogged!

I wont even try to recap all that's happened, we have had a very busy summer but I will do some photo highlights! I have been keeping up with recording special things the kids say etc. through facebook, it's just so quick and easy to do it that way vs. blogging but those are usually just a few sentences of updates. Here's what we have been up to:

Lots of changes are happening too. Maddy will be starting Pre-K in the fall! I'm so excited for her but also sad that she's growing up : (    I wish that I could be a SAHM and keep her with me but I have to go back to work and she needs to go to Pre-K mainly for the interaction with other kids and to help with her speech and langauge. She has been diagnosed with speech/language delays and will be going to school in a Pre-K class to work specifically on this (FINALLY got her this placement after lots of fighting for her to get these specialized services).

As for my job well as of now I'm out of a job. The part time job that I had last year as an interventionist was cut because they dont have it in the budget so then I was going to take a full time job as an ESE teacher at my school but since Im going from part time to full time it's considered a "new hire" and there is a hiring freeze in our county right now so even though my principal wants to put me in one of the openings she cant until the freeze is lifted which no-one knows when that will be. Im really stressed about it. On top of that if they do lift the freeze before shool starts my first day back will also be Maddy's first day of Pre-K and I will not be able to go and Matt is planning to take her, I have been loosing sleep over it I'm so upset..... I dont want to miss her first day of Pre-K. :  (

So that's what's happening lately, I will blog more soon!
