It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Eight Months

Wow, what can change in a month!  Time is literally flying and my days at home with my little boys are short.  I've been offered an amazing job and I am going back to work in a week!   As you can imagine, it was a decision that has weighed heavily on my heart.  I love my days with wee Egan and Rory but I feel that this is a good opportunity for our entire family.  Peter is going to be taking some leave with the boys until April and I know all three of them are going to LOVE that.  They're going to have a cozy little winter together while mommy gets acquainted with the outside world and work again.

Little Egan isn't so little anymore.  This little guy becomes more of a sweet little boy every day.  He is cruising around furniture, climbing stairs, pushing things and walking along with them, clapping, waving, and babbling non-stop.  He loves playing chase with his big brother and is interested in anything Rory is doing.  He has two teeth, still is a terrible sleeper, but gets cuter and funnier everyday, so he's worth it.

I plan on soaking up every minute I can next week with the boys as we prepare the house for Christmas. I can't wait to have our first Christmas here as a family of four. Our family really does feel pretty complete these days.
