Time Flies

Hello all, it has been a while since I have blogged, life has been great, but busy.  Jay went on a fishing trip to the Ruby River with some friends last week.  They camped for 2 nights, many fish were caught.  I stayed home with Jack, camping with a baby in 30ish degree weather just didn't sound like my idea of fun.  Jack and I had a nice time hanging out together.  We ran errands, cuddled in bed in the mornings, and went swimming.  I think since I went back to work I appreciate even more the time I get to spend with Jack.  Aunt Kiley stayed the night one night, so he had lots of fun playing with her.  I went to a bluegrass concert a few weeks ago with Kiley and some friends.  It was my first "girls night out" since having Jack and my, my I have aged.  I had so much fun, but I could definitely feel my age when I was yawning when the clock struck the late hour of 9:00pm.

 I went with Jack to his 1st of many open houses.  In June he is starting at the Northern Rockies Montessori.  After going to the open house and meeting his teacher and the director, I felt totally at ease about having to leave him somewhere other than his home.  It is a nice, clean, new building with a lot of great baby stuff for him to play with.  They have a huge yard which will have gardens planted pretty soon.  The babies will have plenty of outside time and plenty of love and attention.  And... his girlfriend Dotty is one of the other full time babies there, so he already has a friend.  Spring is here and we have been working in the yard and taking a lot of hikes on the Rattlesnake Creek. 


I am truly amazed at how fast time is going by.  Since I had Jack it seems like everything has just sped up.  All of a sudden when I was rocking him the other night I looked down at this baby stretched out, very long across my lap and I realized he isn't a tiny little infant anymore.  He is a big, growing boy, with a HUGE personality.  I was a little sad about this, but I know he has to grow up, sometimes I just wish I could push the pause button. 

Love-Emily
