Blogging

I've missed blogging. I got out of the habit and picked up new ones in the last year. Namely, boot camp, streaming tv shows from Netflix and FaceBook. Oh, and I had a baby somewhere in there, too. That took some free time, but just a little. Those aren't the worst habits to have, but I don't know that I will value having caught up on the last four seasons of Doctor Who and knowing what my friends are eating for dinner like I will value being able to look back and have my children's early lives recorded.

Sometimes I haven't written because I've been just trying to soak up every moment of Zeke and Toby's life. This month Zeke spent a week away from us with his grandmother in North Carolina, a big milestone. I thought I would spend some of the time that he was away catching up on my "to do" list, but I mainly just took a daily inventory of Toby's toes and finding his tickle spots. The time is just so fleeting. Toby seems to have grown almost an inch in just the past two weeks and the crazy thing is that it is entirely possible he has! I already miss the new newborn Toby was and the new four year old that Zeke was. It absolutely breaks my heart.

So, dear lonely, long ignored blog: I'm back.

Naps

We don't need any. Not when there is a brother to play with. Or chew on.

It's nice to meet you.

Today Toby met his great grandparents. He liked them quite a bit. The feeling seemed mutual.
