A return to memories

I have not posted on this blog in such a long time, but I've narrated posts to myself frequently during my absence. I often think to myself, this would be such a great way to easily record family memories, but life gets me tired and distracted. I wanted to write about some of the changes to our little world since Cait entered her 3rd year of life, so here's what we're up to these days and here are a few of our traditions: *Cait attends preschool at a local coop where her favorite friend is Lukas. They can frequently be caught holding hands or giggling, so I'm told by the mums who are able to volunteer more than I am! Through going to preschool a wee bit this year, she's had so many great opportunities like a cider mill field trip, a tumbling gym trip, kids theater, and she'll be marching in a Memorial Day parade very soon. It's been great socialization for her and we plan to keep her there for the 3's program again next Fall. *Stephen is wrapping up law school and beginning bar prep...the saga continues. This process has involved a lot of juggling of responsibilities and it has required that I stay teaching to pay the bills, but my heart yearns to have the financial flexibility to stay home. *We have been able to see lots of family as a by-product of moving home and it just continues to remind me of the importance of being physically near to them all. Last Sunday, Caitlin and I biked over to play with Lily and Hud in the dinner hours. This past Saturday, we were able to attend a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese for Cait's 2nd cousin. Cait's godmother was able to attend "Special Person's Night" at preschool a month ago. All of these gatherings and times together are priceless. Cait and I are constantly talking about how excited we are for the next chance to get out to the cottage to share more fun times with family. It's mid-April, so the end is near...but not near enough that I can stay up super late to continue updating. Maybe this summer, we'll finally get a camera so that i can really record our history a bit better!
