Sick Again and Rambling Update Post....

I haven't really written a blog post in months, so here's a little update. The blog helps me remember things, and I need to do a better job of updating it.

It's been a busy couple of months. Adelyn has always stayed home with us. After she was born, I took almost 5 months of maternity leave. After that, Seth and I both went part-time at work and stayed home with her on our days off and my mom stayed with her once a week. When that seemed too hectic, Seth left the FDIC and stayed home with her for about 9 months before I left the FDIC and then he went back to work. I've now been staying home with her for a year.

In the spring, a former co-worker who nows runs the state banking department, called me and asked if I'd be willing to review exam reports from home. I thought about it and agreed to do it. Working from home allows me to still be an available mom to Adelyn while keeping me current in the banking industry, and I earn a paycheck! I was officially a part-time employee on July 16th. In August of this year, Grace Early Learning Center open their doors and we thought it would be great for Adelyn to go 2 days a week. She could go learn and play with kids her age - the center was brand new, operated on Christian principles and unbelievably (considering where we live) close to home! Unfortunately, since August, it seems like she's spent a lot of time being sick. I've been told that this is all part of being a kid, but it is so different for us. I'm having a hard time getting used to it. Prior to this, Adelyn would get a cold from time to time, but she was rarely sick.

She's waking up now, so I'll ramble some other time, but please pray for my sickly little girl! I'm too much of a worrier and hate it when she's sick.
