{Puppies, Work, & the kids}

{ONE:} The 4 Legged Children

{TWO:} Back to Work
On Wednesday, I got a phone call from the Operations manager at my old gym that some changes were made in management and if I would like my job back?? I was a little torn because I've loved my job at home and caring for my children on our on time schedules. They reinstated my "perks" and offered a pay raise so I agreed to give it a chance - - the next day.
It was as if I never left though. I went in that night and got all set up in the system and became refamiliar with the role.

We all agreed that I would only work 2 days a week until March when we would reevaluate.

Come Thursday morning, we were up and out the door just in time to get to work at 9am. We actually had a lot of fun. Arrowlyn loved crawling around and playing with the kids. Zeplin LOVED playing and had a lot of fun with the boys there.

I'm actually excited to be back. A little stressed but the benefits of working for a gym when you're trying to get in shape is so worth it.


{THREE:}  Zeplin
I can't even tell you all the ways my son has grown since this time last year. He's become so much more thoughtful and sweet.  I was out shoveling snow and when I came back in, he walks up to me holding a big glass of ice water and says (word for word!), "Mom, You were outside for such a long time and I bet your energy is zapped. Here, drink some water." *swoon*
Zeplin is just so caring like that! Any time his sister is crying or upset, he will do all he can to make her smile again. He loves to give me hugs and kisses and will take every opportunity he can to tell us how much he loves each of us.

Zj loves when his little sister plays with him - but not all the time. He will whine and fuss if she's in his way and I've even caught him pulling her away from his toys. He loves to shut himself in his room so that she will leave him alone but we love it when he welcomes her in.

{FOUR:} Arrowlyn ➸ 49 Weeks
Arrowlyn is trying to get a few more teeth before her birthday. Her two front teeth are trying to come through, including her other canine.

Arrow is still the happiest, lovey and sweetest little thing. She loves the dogs, and other peoples dogs, toys and is constantly wanting to play and share with others. I am so excited for her birthday and for her future mile stones!
