It’s been a while so I thought I should give a quick little update on what’s been happening here with us…when we moved here last year, I took a Full-Time job working as a Store Manager for a luxury retailer. This is the first full-time job I have had in several years and with it came alot of change for all of us. Hubby T is still running his business from a home office but he gets to leave the house to go into a detached office (a.k.a old garage/laundry room). Our neighbors have dubbed him the “home father”. All three kids are in school, K is in the third grade, E is in Practice Kindergarten (that’s what we call it because he’ll be going to Kindergarten again next year), and Baby H who is not a baby anymore is in preschool (3.5 years old). The boys really love their school, it’s a really quaint little school in Carmel Valley that really is more like grandmas house but it’s an actual school. They love it there, we love it and believe it or not the teachers seem to love it too!!!
K is still adjusting to her school and has made some friends, I’m thinking that 3rd grade is the start of the drama years. She is quite the little woman these days. We have noticed that there is a big difference from age 7 to age 8. Most days she is our sweet little angel and some days she is just a little sass…
Thank goodness for Hubby T, he really does more than his share of the “family” work. He’s home when the kids get home from school and does the pick ups after school. That has really made going back to work easier. I do miss being home with them but at the end of the day I think that I am a happier mom working and mommying. I’d say the biggest challenge for us these days are “what’s for dinner?”
We have lived here in Carmel Valley for almost a year and we like it. It’s very beautiful and near the Ocean which we love. We live in the valley where it’s a little more rustic than Carmel, it’s a little strange as T and I see ourselves as more city folk. We’re still adjusting.
So that’s all for now….
We’re so glad you’re doing this again so we can catch up on what’s going on with you guys. It sounds like a busy life. we can’t wait to see you again.
