Time for a relaunch

Let's see...it's been about 6 months since my last blog post. I keep meaning to write but my writing has been put on the backburner because of working full time and of course being mama to RaeRae. And also due to my laziness and lack of motivation.

So with spring around the corner, I decided it's time for a relaunch of my blog. Lots of changes since my last post. I am now working in second grade at my school as a contracted teacher until June instead of a long-term substitute teacher in fifth grade. I am loving it. There are challenges but at the end of the day, I truly love working with my coworkers and my students. I love the environment of my school where everyone is signing. 
I feel that my opportunity to teach at this school is my second chance for being deprived of such an environment while growing up. I just hope my job becomes a permanent one someday. That is my dream. 

RaeRae

RaeRae is now two years old! She turned two last month on February 6th! We had a big birthday party for her and her friends and some family on February 10th at Super Franks. It was a lot of fun. Which reminds me, I gotta get those thank you cards out. :-) 

RaeRae is cutting her two year old molars right now, which are giving us some rough nights and less sleep. She runs around everywhere, outgrowing her 18 month clothing (in shirts; but still in 18 months for pants), so much vocabulary (I've lost track...too many words to count), loves to pretend-play in her kitchen and going "bye bye," obsessed with Nemo but slowly branching out to new favorites such as owls and tigers, thoroughly enjoys stickers, and also enjoys playing with her friends at daycare. 
We still cosleep with her for some of the night and wake up in the morning to her giving us hugs and kisses. 

We recently got some portraits done by our friend Clare Cassidy. She is a superb photographer and helped to make RaeRae feel more comfortable in the outdoor photo session. See some of my favorites below.

My hubby

Hubby and I will be celebrating our anniversary(ies) next month! 5 years of marriage, but 11 years of being together. He is at the point in his life where he is reevaluating what he wants to do for his future career. For those of you who don't really know him, he's a brilliant writer.  That is his dream and I am hoping his writing will be shared with more readers in the near future. I can't believe how much time has flown by since we first met during high school. I sure got lucky with him. 

So now here's the question...how often should I post? What is my personal goal? I want to keep writing for own personal growth and sanity--twice a week? Once a week? Let's start with once a week and go from there. 

Thanks for reading.
