So. We all know by know that I am not good at the blog entries. I find that I am embarassed by my lack of success at this. I have sat down multiple times to start a new entry, but just I don't know where to start. So much has happened in the last 7 months! My hope is bit by bit, I can recap it all (including my top 30 for Annie's birthday-even though we just passed her 1/2 birthday)!
Let's start with the birth of little Everett. When looking back at the last 7 months with him, what amazes me the most is how much my heart has grown since he joined our little family! Everyone tells you how much you will love you child, but I truly had NO IDEA what this was all about. I have found that my respect for my parents has also grown. It is amazing to me that they look at me like I look at Everett.
My favorite part of my day is when Rob get's little E to laugh. No body can make my little man laugh like Rob. I can get him to chuckle, but Rob can get the full on belly shaking baby laugh out of him with out even trying. It is music to my ears!
Going back to work...ugh. My first day back was the hardest thing I have ever done. The poor ladies at Everett's "school" are used to new mom's dropping off their babies with them. I am sure they have a script they use to ease the nerves of the mom's, but nothing that they could have said that day could have calmed my fears. Rob had to take him in actually...I couldn't do it. I felt like they were stealing my baby, when I fact I signed him up for it-we were actually paying them money to take him! 4 months later I have grown to love the women that care for him every day. Miss Tina is my favorite. Everett lights up when he sees her! Our son has earned the title of the most observant child in his class. He is just like his dad-he doesn't miss a thing.
My hope is that I can be better at keeping up with the blogs. It took me a while to get my "mommy legs" underneath me, and then I had to learn how to balance the wife/mom/working mom thing. It definately is a balancing act...that is for sure. But it is ALL worth it. I would love to have 10 more just like him!

ALLISON! Oh, how I miss you! I called you today, but I didn't leave a message.
It is so nice to see you back in blogworld, and what a sweet post! Everett is so darling, and I see you in his eyes. I love what you wrote about your parents look at you the way that you look at Everett- so sweet, and so true. Becoming a parent sure rocks one's world!
I love you, and I hope that you are able to give us updates more often (though no pressure!).
Well lookey here! You are back!!
I have to admit, I liked being center stage for those 7 months...it's the longest celebrity stint I've ever had ;o)
All kidding aside - your recap is great and that picture of Little E steals my heart! He does have your eyes :o)
Welcome back! You've been missed!!
