Lucky me......

Well my laptop blew -up........with all of my pictures, photcard designs, programs I need, etc.

I could throw up. Thankfully I have everything backed up (at least I hope that it is all on the external hard drive!) But I am still upset. The thing wasn't even 14 months old, and I was in the middle of 2 invitation orders!

I finally have this blog up and running, ready to share, and now this!

I hope to have things fixed soon..........I am a mess without my computer!

Teeth and Tonsils............

So after the playground injury, I proceeded to scar Lilli for life because I took her to the dentist. It. was. not. a. good. trip.

She needed to have one front tooth bonded, and the other is basically shattered, and will most likey break off at any point.

If that wasn't bad enough - the kid had tonsillitis for the 2nd time in 3 months. She was in so much pain, and I felt so sorry for her. She even missed Easter because she was so sick. (Alec, however, looked adorable in his sweater vest and khakis!)

I then noticed that both of Lilli's front teeth were turning brown............great...............

It was back to the dentist again.

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot, Lilli shook her head and said "no like." Um, do you think I could have felt any more awful????

The verdict is in....................2 root canals and reconstruction of both front teeth. This kid is going to hate me!

Mike Tyson.......

So Lilli fell and broke her front teeth at the park..................toothless is not a good look for a little girl..........

Hectic.........

Generally, that is what it is like around here. I'm back to work - which isn't too bad. It is bad, however, that I don't get to stay in my pj's until mid-afternoon. This showering/making myself look presentable thing is brutal!

B and I are on a very good morning schedule though........Alec wakes up at 5 am (ouch!) and B gets up with him. They are out the door to Mom-Mom's by 6:30.

Lilli is up around the time they leave, so I get myself and her ready, breakfast and coffee together (coffee for me - not her - lol!) and we are out the door by 7:15. It is alot to do first thing in the morning!

I also run a program after school 2 days a week, which keeps me at school until 5:30. Thankfully on those nights, Mom-Mom cooks dinner! On top of that, I squeeze in 3 tutoring sessions for a few students at school..........it is very hard to keep track of.

The laundry is a mile high, the dust bunnies are bigger than the baby, and I am exhausted as usual!

Back to work I go............

So I have been on maternity leave for almost 4 months now, and I go back to teaching on the 6th. I have mixed feeling about it...............

I absolutely loved having time to bond with Alec, and I am so fortunate that I had that much time off. However, the SAHM thing just isn't for me. It is such a tough job, and I admire those who can do it! Ideally, I would love to work part-time, so that I can be home with the kids more - but that is not an option. But I do have my summer off, along with holiday breaks - so I really don't have it to bad!

Lilli has been going to the sitter 3 days a week while I have been home, because we wanted to keep her on a schedule (plus she loves going to "school"!) She will go back full-time when I start back.

Alec is going to be spending his days with Mom-Mom until the summer. Then it is off to the shore we go!

Only a few more weeks until spring break..........(is it bad to think that way??)

The H family..........what a pleasure!

This family was so sweet! They were such a pleaure to work with and "C" and "M" were so well behaved! I am going to be taking engagement pictures for their aunt soon - yay!!

Baby "G".....precious!

This is "G", and the G could possibly stand for gorgeous! She was such a sweetheart, and is going to be a knock-out! Good thing her big brother "D" will be around......
