All Done

Well, Mom's visit is "all done", as Isaiah would say. We had a super fun time, and we wish that the rest of my family had been able to come up, too. Now we count down the days until Mallory gets to meet the rest of the family - both my side and Tim's - in July.

It's tough living so far away. However, I can say that we have learned to make the most of what time we do get together. Whether we're playing cards or shopping or whatever, we always have lots of laughs and make new memories to smile about.

Here's Mom standing in the one patch of snow that we had left (which is now gone, by the way).

Something that's ALMOST "all done" is my maternity leave. I go back in about a week and a half, and I can't say that I'm looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong - I love my job and enjoy working with my fellow teachers. It's just going to be really hard to be away from my children. Isaiah, Mallory, and I have had the bEsT time together. Isaiah has learned so much, and Mallory is growing like a weed. I know that Jen will take good care of them for me while Tim and I are at work. It'll be summer vacation before I know it! :-)

Something that's NOT "all done", but I wish was is my restructuring of the basement. I was able to get it started, and now I'm on the computer instead of working on my latest project. Oh, well. It's spring cleaning time! The Fox Valley Thrift Shop picks up tomorrow, and Goodwill picks up on Saturday. It's time to pass things on that we don't use anymore to someone who will use them. I want a scrapbooking/playroom!
